It took @springernature.com five years to retract a paper containing blatantly fabricated data. It was listed "the best of Cancer Gene Therapy 2017-2018". It has been cited 61 times. @natureportfolio.nature.com #China #Fraud #Science #Glioma #Cancer

South #Korea has a huge problem with falsification of #biomedical data.

Thinking about the wasted funds and misinformation leading to dead ends and less progress and development:

Why this lack of responsiblity from universities, funding agency and government?

For more than a decade, Insug Kang and co-authors from Kyung Hee University, #Korea have published fabricated data.

Misbeaviour of scientific publishing results in the spread of misinformation and a serious misuse of public research funds.

Data manipulations are now accepted by universities in South #Korea

One example:

The Kyung Hee University didn't see any problems with the manipulated data. I found additional problems using ImageTwin.

Yung Hyun Choi from Dong-Eui University, South Korea, is listed with ~700 published papers.

They are probably worth nothing, and have only contributed to scientific blind gates.

#MDPI has a problem

The scientific publishing industry is dysfunctional.

If "researchers" repeatedly make obvious mistakes—such as using a non-specific antibody or misanalyzing apoptosis—it is highly likely that they are cutting corners across the board.

The most advanced about this paper is that they rotate the duplicated micrograph 76 degrees.

I am pretty sure that we have some new candidates for the Retraction Watch leader board, if #MDPI editors show any responsibility and if there is any justice left in the world.

In almost all papers I check where Gi-Young Kim is involved, I find fabrication of data.

I don't get any response. Can someone tell him?
