And the real concern is what other fields of research have this level of fraud or dishonesty? What other foundational research papers are yet to be outed as fake? We need to look at all fields of science where a decade or more have past since anyone has made meaningful progress on central problems, or have a pattern of non-replication. Those are strong signs that key papers are made-up and scientists are basically forced to build on unworkable conclusions.

Almost all of them, but the prime ones to target are the ones whose leading journals do not require open data to be published along with their paper. Drug trials with pre-registered hypotheses are actually among the more rigorous approaches to research.
