Reading: Fraud Hunters: Sniffing Out Bogus Science @vincebielski writes at @RCInvestigates “Science is about finding the truth, and an inaccurate representation of what was actually observed means that you are not representing the truth,” said Rossner. realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2025/…

Published in "Smart Medicine" 2025. The authors used three cell lines to study HCC. None of these are HCC cell lines. Two of them are known to be HeLa since 2017. Last author at @stonybrooku 🤐

#FigcheckClass: @FrontiersIn The two duplicate images in Figure 7A and Figure 7B are more likely to be misplaced. Image management is indeed a difficult task in scientific research, and figcheck was created to help users avoid such mistakes. 10.3389/fcell.2025.1551010

Crazy @ElsevierConnect republished an article, which was retracted due to potential authorship manipulation, on the SAME journal, with SAME title, SAME content, but 4 additional authors. Details: 5gh.org.cn/WuGH/2025/0000…
Refraction Notch retweeted
#FigcheckClass: @ElsevierConnect There are only seven such cell staining images in the article, but the duplication of Figure 3C and Figure 10K, as indicated by figcheck, should not have occurred. The journal editorial office should respond. org/10.1016/j.reth.2025.07.004

Fantastic new paper by Reese Richardson et al. "The entities enabling scientific fraud at scale are large, resilient, and growing rapidly." An enormous amount of work showing the extent of coordinated scientific fraud and involvement of some editors. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

The Rise and Fall of a Fraudulent Paper (doi: 10.1002/app.54564 ): 1. Published. And, made it to the cover! 2. Sleuths teamed up to report the paper. 3. Retracted! (@mumumouse2 💪! Without you it was impossible to handle this, and also its sister paper, doi: 10.1002/app.52740 ).
Some papers move too quickly—straight from their Early View version to being Retracted!" doi.org/10.1002/cbdv.7… (Thank you @mumumouse2 !)
