Science Publisher Retracts 44 Papers for Being Utter Nonsense
- lupire 5y agoArticles about this mention Chinese "publish or perish" researchers spamming journals to keep their jobs. Chinese government is very image conscious and draconian. These offenses are public by nature -- the perpetrators' names are at the top of the bogus papers. Is Chinese government responding to this news and cracking down on the (purported) researchers? Or, dare I suggest, reforming its "publish or perish" expectations?

Scholars being forced to do scientific articles about anything as part of its curricula and journals accepting turds as long as they were wrapped in cash. Great results, it seems. Science for free. Wow!. Why to pay a professional of science then?
