Come on, guys.
"Most editors do not seem to make correcting the record a priority."For an industry so obsessed with peer review, it appears that academic journals are mighty reticent to retract or even warn readers about fraudulent articles., a recent study found that although journals were made aware of nearly 90 instances of papers that had cited work that was documented to be fraudulent in the field of nutrition studies, few warnings or notices of retraction were ever posted.
In other words, don't trust everything you read — even if it's been published in a peer reviewed journal.The story begins with Scottish nutritionist Alison Avenell, who in 2015 began to painstakingly document the fraudulent work of since-deceased Japanese nutrition research Yoshihiro Sato, and was able to verify that dozens of his often-cited articles.
Prior to retraction, Sato's work was cited in at least 88 studies that systematically reviewed multiple articles and trials published between 2003 and 2020. So Avenell and her team at Scotland's University of Aberdeen began to contact the authors and editors of these systematic reviews to alert them to the fraudulent work they'd cited and hopefully get them to inform readers of it.
