I have some doubts regarding this --
1.) What if the topic on which someone wants to publish is still developing, and the researches in the meantime produces wrong results which can be a genuine case, then does the individual get penalized?
2.) Also if point 1 is allowed then one might always claim this as a backdoor escape for all wrong publications.
3.) What role does a reviewer have if there is a false publication, will the reviewer be also punished?
I am not suggesting this is a bad move, it is just a different view point which might actually work out for good, but unless all points have been addressed correctly, claiming that something might be a punishable offence is definitely a step in the wrong direction.
