I'd like to point out that the linked article links to its own blog about 20 times, but not once to the actual study, which is here: http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0113605 http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjourna.... Epic.
- dang 12y agoThat url (http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/285915.php http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/285915.php) also appeared to rip content from the original popular article, which we found by googling one of the quotes from the study author. There is a class of poor-quality science blogs that mostly lift content from elsewhere. We mostly don't ban them, because occasionally they do end up being the best popular article on a study. We do, however, penalize them.
