In the Pipeline | Here's a disturbing read for
you: the author of this paper (Morten Oksvold, of Oslo University)
sat down and did what none of us ever do. He chose three different
journals in the oncology field, picked one hundred and twenty
papers, at random, from their recent issues, and carefully looked
every one of them over for duplications in the figures and data. On
PubPeer, you can see what he found. Nearly a quarter of the papers
had problems.
