I feel the article needs to put forward more evidence that it is an epidemic. It looks just as likely that science has had systematic problems for a long time and abuses have always been rife.
- MattGaiser 3y ago> Last year, more than 10,000 research papers were retracted, marking an all-time high. They haven't even made a case that it is at an all-time high as a rate of anything. The article also says that output has spiked.
- renewiltord 3y agoIf you’re not in it you don’t see it but after seeing sufficiently faked fluorescence studies I believe nothing. On the Internet some expert HN user will tell you how “it’s worth noting that there is some evidence” and it’s probably some faked science on photoshopped fluorescence study. Useless crap in a worm. And it’s not even real. But you can’t tell anyone this because they’ll circle the wagons. “Oh yeah, you think science is blah blah blah”.
