Last week, we reported that PLoS ONE was retracting three papers by [Institute of Microbial Technology (IMTECH) in Chandigarh, India] because “there are no data available underlying this study and thus…the published results are fabricated.” Now, according to The Hindu, four more papers are being retracted…
Keep up the good work you do Kate. Hopefully as the weak end of the “baby boomer” generation are passed over or shoved aside by the millennials the integrity for scientific research will return. Cheers;
A study with no data is not a study, it is a statement, nothing more.
MikeSr, what particular wording in the links Kate has provided justifies your bigoted reference to the “baby boomer” generation?
Just my somewhat warped observations about the present state of leadership in North America over the last several decades.
Oz, I guess if you accurately parse my comment I was pointing out, through opinion, the weak end of the “baby boomer’ generation. Possibly you did catch this and therefore your concern. 🙂
Probably the situation which emphasized my dislike for this specific group was a study, only one I can recall and no I do not have supporting references. In any case this study showed the latter part of the educated “baby boomers” first choice for employment was a Government Bureaucracy.
Cheers;
