The Dark Side of Science: Misconduct
in Biomedical Research
Elizabeth Bik, PhD discusses research integrity problems in published
journals. She discusses examples of plagiarism, falsification and
fabrication. Dr. Bik estimates research integrity problems affect 5% to
10% of published peer reviewed scientific papers . In a review of 782
papers which had integrity problems which were reported 5 years
previously to the publication, journal editors took no action on 65.5%,
corrected 26.9%, retracted 7.4% and published an expression of concern
in 0.3%, Some integrity problems are the result of an organized
disinformation effort based in China, Russia and Iran, which generates
fake research and manuscripts for those willing to purchase their
services. Methods of distinguishing fake and flawed research is also
discussed. Health Watch USAsm Meeting. Mar. 16, 2022.
