“At least a third of published papers are never cited by other researchers. “
Actually, it’s more like 50% are never cited even once.

I was experienced the same concern-the collapse of Western Medicine.

Sounds like the “global warming” scam isn’t the only area where science as been corrupted by grant-greedy “scientists”.
To: cuban leaf
I haven’t looked at cancer research the same since the early ‘70s when I read an article (in Penthouse, believe it or not) called ‘The Solid Gold Cancer Train’.

There is no incentive to find out it was wrong.”
Now apply that to the “social science”.................

Glad you posted this as I was about to do so.
IMO, repetition is the only standard for credibility.

Having written a couple of books that involve controversial topics in environmental regulation, needless to say, I have had to apply a screening method to what I regard as solid v. questionable or even intentionally bogus science. The principal criterion has been: If you can take the findings and produce a profitable product therewith, it’s probably solid. As a result, I tend to consider industry data more reliable than university findings.
