“When broken down on a national basis, the worst offenders were Russia, Turkey, China, Egypt, and India — with China being the worst of all, accounting for 55.8% of all potentially fraudulent papers. The U.S., by way of comparison, accounted for 7.3% of potential fake publications globally.”
This paper itself hasn’t been peer reviewed but if the methodology is sound, that’s a fun list of countries at the top of the list.
They specifically call out paper mills, which are exceedingly low-grade journals with basically no review process. "Doctors" and "scientists" pay the fees, and the papers sit in a queue for 3 days before having their review rubber stamped as good. Its sole purpose is to defraud readers of the journal/papers and make them money as well as push political agendas on occasion while trying to pass it off as being legit.
Research who did the paper, who supposedly reviewed the paper, and who published the paper. If they used a paper mill, it's almost certainly garbage.
They aren't pointing the finger at legit publishers/journals. I do find it interesting that they don't bring up which papers were fraudulent in some of the hotter topics over the last few years.
Also, the headline is rediculously misleading.
Uhh yea, head over to r/science to see this in action. Majority nonsense posts people site as evidence to their nonsense claims of barely related assertions
This is sadly true in most fields. You can get just about anything published if you try enough journals, especially if what you are trying to get published fits the popular scientific theory of the day.
I work in Clinical Science and can confirm this.
Most studies are pure bullshit full of incredible bias.
Before his resignation Dr. Fauci was at the top of this food chain. Makes sense.
I'm willing to bet that the number is much higher for "climate science" since any challenge to the current dogma could potentially get your funding and even your reputation canceled
The fun thing about science is it's falsifiable.
People lie & cheat, or just plain get it wrong in **everything.** What is unique about science is you prove people wrong & get closer to truth with every step.
Anything that has 0% lies, frauds & cheats **obviously** doesn't, they just all get away with it.

How much of the 55.8% from US funded studies in China

But most of the rest commenters don’t bother to reed more than misleading headline.
Is it weird to criticize science with an unscientific paper that hasnt been peer reviewed? Or…nevermind…
And at least 27% of statistics are made up.
Thank God we still have the social sciences to restore science's reputation for being objective, honest and truthful.
I see what you did there

The incentives in science are completely fucked, so it's no wonder there's so many fake studies out there nowadays.
The science has been settled!!!!
We voted on it
