Flood of Fake Science Forces Multiple Journal Closures
Wall Street Journal ^ | 14/5/24

Posted on 06/01/2024 11:30:02 PM PDT by Eleutheria5

Fake studies have flooded the publishers of top scientific journals, leading to thousands of retractions and millions of dollars in lost revenue. The biggest hit has come to Wiley, a 217-year-old publisher based in Hoboken, N.J., which Tuesday will announce that it is closing 19 journals, some of which were infected by large-scale research fraud.

Paywall.

These Journals are very specialized and VERY expensive.

We used to pay big bucks for them because they contained valuable and vital information.

Now they are increasingly filled with politicized garbage and shoddy/falsified results. You can get that from CNN fake news for free so why pay the exorbitant price for fake science.

What happened to ‘trust the science?’

Medical journals have long run on an accommodating honor system that permitted unethical researchers and authors to game and subvert the limited internal verification by publishers.

The paper mills simply took those tactics and made them into industrial scale fraud. Now that the problem cannot be ignored, the publishers have to clean house or suffer financial losses and various forms of government oversight and litigation.

I believe that the paper mill problem is solvable, and the good news is that other longstanding abuses like data manipulation and outright scientific research fraud are also likely to be addressed along the way. As it happens, this might also eventually help to clean up climate science. Or at least one can hope.

It has been revealed, but the brainwashed members of the “climate change” cult are immune to the truth. They’ll never concede, no matter how obvious the scam becomes.

There has been a flood of public money given out to anyone who claims to do research, and administered by ignorant bureaucrats. Of course there is fraud, just like every other welfare program.

It’s the false promise of the positivists: Create a formal process so nobody has to exercise judgment anymore.

Good thought. ---- I'll get excoriated for saying it, but that's what religions do for a lot of people. Islam especially.

These “scientists” have perverted “science”. What used to be respected and often referred to for “truth” has become a place where $$$$$ reins. Many current day “scientists” are in pursuit of the almighty $$$$ and more “grant money” rather than TRUTH. This absence of integrity and dishonesty creates a climate where nothing can be trusted. Thanks, you imbeciles.
