Quote:There it was. A section of the same photo being used in two different papers to represent results from three entirely different experiments.
What’s more, the authors seemed to be deliberately covering their tracks. Although the photos were of the same sample, one appeared to have been flipped back-to-front, while the other appeared to have been stretched and cropped differently.
Quote:But were those duplicated images just an isolated case? With little clue about how big this would get, I began searching for suspicious figures in biomedical journals...
'Historically, we may regard materialism as a system of dogma set up to combat orthodox dogma...Accordingly we find that, as ancient orthodoxies disintegrate, materialism more and more gives way to scepticism.'
