Holy #conflict of #interest! From #Retraction Watch: #Wiley issued a mass correction at a #journal after finding nearly 100 papers with #undisclosed #COIs related to #submissions by #board #members & relationships between #authors & journal #editors. https://retractionwatch.com/2025/06/17/geological-journal-wiley-correction-authors-fail-to-disclose-conflict-of-interest/

Eleven studies by Spanish scientist Rafael Luque are retracted due to fraudulent practices.

A new tool reveals the alleged cheating committed for years by the chemist, who was suspiciously prolific.

With his 11 studies eliminated by publishers, he is already “in the top 0.1% of the most retracted authors of all time”.

Apologies for the error, this is a liberal led protest of PursuitNW Church.

That being said my take remains the same, for the love of god don't go protest a church that the FBI is looking for an excuse to protect.

This is a potentially unwise protest that will lead to arrest and injury for little to no gain.

Its not likely to produce the optics the libs wish, the media will spin it as always.

Update. New study: "Male first authors have higher #retraction rates, particularly for scientific misconduct such as plagiarism, authorship disputes, ethical issues, duplication, and fabrication/falsification. No significant gender differences were found in retractions attributed to mistakes."

Hey, #academia, have you seen the #Retraction #Watch Leaderboard of #authors with the most #retractions lately? https://retractionwatch.com/the-retraction-watch-leaderboard/

This has somehow slipped under my radar: "Controversial #COVID study that promoted unproven treatment retracted after four-year saga - Paper on #hydroxychloroquine led by French researcher Didier #Raoult is second-most-cited study ever to be withdrawn."
"Overall, the IHU now has 32 retracted papers — 28 of them authored by Raoult — and 230 other studies with expressions of concern."
