Just like every other human on the planet.

You're late!

Yes competitive funding results in large amounts of funding being directed towards the researchers with the most spectacular results and there is almost certainly an enrichment of fraudsters in this cohort. Researchers who have promising results that need further work to disentangle multiple variables on the other hand are likely to not get any funding at all. Only 1 in 10 research grants get funded in Australia.

Are you my doctor?

@@1904Ernst pharma is deadlier than illegal drugs. but people never listen.

Sounds like the police

Yup! They should start with non-opioid medications pushed for pain but are antidepressants and antiepileptic medication.

Absolutely!

Nutritional studies are also of dubious value. 😢

Now think about vitamins or the beauty industry

SO TRUE!

Truth

STOP all government funding. Before government started funding, due diligence was done before investors gave these researchers money. Now it's just about proposing the approved agendas in order to get money.

​@@ohsweetmystery government funding is fine. It's private, for-profit funding that is the problem.

I mean. There are humans involved. Thus, you just have bad apples and human error. No matter what it is. Church, work, your local pub... It's the human condition. Just think critically and find the bad apples. Just remember this isn't unique to medical science.

​@@ohsweetmystery You have it exactly in REVERSE. For-profit research is... FOR PROFIT, vested interest. You can't have an unbiased research when further funding *depends* on the outcome. That's called *motivated reasoning*, philsophers have identified it as a bias for centuries.

It's such a shame. We are trying to effect change before it becomes obsolete.

Exactly. Publications are and should be only a byproduct of good and thoroughly executed research.

Yeah older generation like doing Field project because that's where the money come,younger generation prefer doing research now because govt give them intensive if they publish something even if it's just miniscule or even don't have impact

Kinda sounds like the music industry😅 "give me a song to put out! Nah i dont care how good it is"

So what are you doing now?

😩

Politics too as they decide what should be printed and funded.

Also... China is a decent chunk of it all solo too.

My suspicion, if they're a senior researcher like this is that they're a professor and director of some institute or other. Their senior position is a management position over a wide range of projects that more junior professors are really lead on. The senior man may be the last author, sort of the "executive producer" who helped with funding, facilities, experimental design advice, logistics, whatever. The lead author of course gets first billing, but the last author is that supervising researcher. At really big places (I suspect you're referring to a Harvard researcher here), they have a culture where they encourage their senior professors to do this sort of role and append their names to as many publications as possible to fluff up the numbers of publications and use their institutional brand a bit for some name recognition. They're hardly the only university that does this. This doesn't mean the research is false, only that the author list is grossly inflated and some of the authors really didn't do much to get their names on the publication.

I’m not as optimistic 😞 they still have to do something about it, and they won’t.

The entire medical system is predicated on a fraudulent practice of treating symptoms wich never addresses the root cause. The medical system will have you falsely believe that “diseases” really exists when in fact they do not. A disease is simply a dis-ease in the body, find what is causing it (eating non human food) and you can reverse and cure everything. When a person outsources their Health to a “Doctor” that will never come to know Health. Doctors only manage disease and are prevented from practicing anything other than allopathy.

It's unclear if this shows there's more fraud (bigger iceberg than thought) or just discovering more of the fraud (digging out the mountain). The reporting isn't very informative. What percentage of papers have being retracted? Were the retracted papers published in the last year (hella concerning), or papers published over the last 20 years?

@@RyanTehPyro do what? They a rooting out misinformation and doing it more than ever. Thats fantastic.

@@Kian139 humans have been doing this for decades to little avail. I think AI will only change/accelerate how they deceive because at the end of the day, it's about moolah!

I was a foreign language professor at NYU for 10 years, plus many years teaching at other foreign and US universities, and that is the reason I became so disillusioned and distraught with the Academia that I left for good in 2007. Knowledge, abilities, experience and work ethic is worth nothing at all anymore. That is why students finish college with a diploma and no knowledge. The Academia is just a money making machine.

Eh, this kind of bait and switch is not terribly surprising. It's why I took a break from DW (and may need to do again).

Someone likely used AI to look for duplication in publications. That's how they would have found recycled images.

There is no such thing as AI, it's just statistics and huge computational power. But if the use of the term AI helps bring light to this topic, this is fair.

@@alebecker12 there's really no need to be pedantic like that, or have any expectation that others somehow know to use certain terms according to _your_ definition of them. Everyone who's been paying attention to the progression of this technology, should be well aware that the term "AI" is an umbrella term for various machine learning algorithms. So there actually _is_ such a thing as AI. You seem to be conflating AI with AGI. But it's not helpful at all for you to be making such a distinction in the first place..

Political and ideologies.

Ideology is everywhere, in journalism, even in the kitchen... That's not very specific

That's what I was going to say, money will destroy everything.

@christianzilla Money is just an ai system. It's weights and biases. It's the incentives in the system that determine the redirects. Same would happen without money if everyone traded.

Money as motive and profit over people is what I am talking about. Money is just shorthand.

so is eating pizza every day healthy or unhealthy????. "Studies say"

@@HUEHUEUHEPony That is an important question. Has there ever been an animal for whom the ideal diet was not exactly the same as the diet with which the animal evolved? Why would anyone believe that artificial food that doesn't exist in nature could be healthy for any animal?

As a scientist, the only way to be sure is review it myself. Clearly not possible for the high proportion of junk reviewed articles

⁠@@Michal_Sobczykbecause artificial doesn’t mean bad, and natural doesn’t mean good. That’s the naturalistic fallacy. What matters are nutrients. Also, what human predecessors used to eat millions of years ago because that was available at the time, isn’t necessarily what our bodies needs or what is best for us. In fact it probably isn’t, because the humans/predecessors had a diametrically different lifestyle than humans today.

negative studies? get berried, with patents dint do so well

As important as the positive studies of course.

@@dh2032 Negative studies don't mean "patients don't do well". Negative studies are where treatments are shown to not make a significant impact for a certain outcome variable, or a diagnostics or diagnostic parameter didn't perform as well in predicting a certain long-term event.

How is technology being used now???

True, so they'll be going in to fix it so it won't.

​@MM-qp4pd if he thinks like me. He means that AI should not be the decision maker for whatever it was built for due to human error in the data/outside forces that are out of its control. As such it should be used to ease the gathering of information and a human on the other side can verify the authenticity of the data to make decisions going forward.

I completely agree with you, but I suspect that in the future AI will be just as effective in helping scammers. You must always understand that if you have developed a new weapon, it will be used not only for good.

We don't need it.

Without question.

That is not the problem. We have to unlink capitalism and research ! It is only about the money.

Sorry, education if it is based on honesty & truth only helps advancement of society.

Its a lobby , cant break it . Its solid . People believe all bs they say .. so they keep doing it

The problem was that too many lemmings would simply call you a conspiracy theorists for merely questioning the integrity of specific research via appeal to authority. This directly proves them wrong

A modest corollary: Billions of dollars are spent BY the drug industry, for research that turns out to be dubious at best.

Actually it's the capitalist system that incentivises such behavior.

​@@duncan.o-vicno, it is not. It is the lack of morals and integrity of people who does.

@@thulsa_doom which is incentivised by capitalist system.

@@duncan.o-vic China and other nominally socialist states are at least as guilty of research fraud as Western, capitalist countries. The problem is a need to compete, which can be stifled in a social-democratic (read: Still capitalist) society.

Evil breeds evil and the weak heart will fall into evil. Both are evil - the people that lack integrity and the system.

Researchers aren't necessarily the problem. If the only way to maintain a stable career is to lie, something needs to change.

@@swaggery Also true. Agree.

@@swaggery What about integrity? If a scientist doesn't have integrity, what hope do we have? Are we only left with the scientists who don't have integrity? Because those who do, check out because of their inability to deviate from the truth. You cannot call yourself a scientist, if you are prepared to deviate from the truth, that is the fundamental characteristic of being a scientist, establishing reality, not making up nonsense versions of it. Something definitely needs fixing, because we are already experiencing the catastrophic consequences of science that lacks scientific rigor.

The problem is the system (capitalism) that incentivises profits and froad.

​@@duncan.o-vicIt's not the system. It's the people. Look at Communism. A completely different system but the same amount of fraud. They even starved 100-200mio people just to be right.

This isn't a few people. Academia as a whole, publish or perish is to blame. There's probably maybe dozens who HAVEN'T published rushed papers. And thousands who have. Most problems are results of systemic issues.

No need to tell me or defend yourself here, still if anything of that rings true to you, you may wanna double check your preconceptions. Playing a blame game also does not help us much. Sure someone gets his rocks of by having put someone down, to me it would be enough to know people who did falsify knowingly, that they would be discredited to their peers and those who did not falsify would have hopefuilly learned an important lesson for scientific endevours from then on.

Yea. Iv lost trust in academia for awhile ever since I was a kid. Remember Toroidal props from MIT? They made a mistake with that one, since it was easily reproducable. People found out how BS it really was. It just seems so much of these studies are BS. In a way, this is great for researchers. Companies and the military who wants to do ACTUAL RESEARCH, has more incentive to hire people over just reading academia.

@@WALLACE9009 I agree. I don’t take any prescription drugs, but I had a rod put in my tibia after I broke it last year. I know the titanium rod is safe and necessary because of how bad the break was. However, sometimes surgeons press for unnecessary surgeries because they get paid. I broke a metacarpal in my foot back in 2016, was told I needed surgery at the hospital or I’d always have problems. It was BS. I’m glad I got a second opinion from an orthopedist who said I didn’t need surgery at all. It healed perfectly fine with no issues.

Doctors are not gods but the alternative is...?

That's a bigger question than I can answer in a comment section. Basically, I think it is good that they are now being questioned by something smarter than they think they are....

And you think the researchers are medical doctors. 😂😂😂

Decent human beings who prioritize integrity over profits would be nice in any field. But I guess that means godlike people nowadays

@@soundscape26 AI seems ot be doing a good job of informing us. Google is just bloat and trash. I can get informed so much easier with AI. I love learning from these LLMs.

While you can make AI models to check data, it is far easier to build AI models that will fasisify data (and do it well) and lead to more false research output. So, the problem will get worse. The only solutions is in the insitutions employing researchers. They have to change the way how the rank and grade researchers . Now it is simply: how many papers you have in these journals.

The problem isn´t the funding, really. You need the money for that and companies do it all the time. The bigger problem is, that they can decide if a study get´s published or not. So they of course will publish the one showing their product is fine, while not showing the 20 that say it isn´t.

@@krox477autocracy even with a free market for goods and services is more dangerous than capitalism in a democracy despite the fact that the usa foreign policy has been quite mistake prone starting with ww1. To think that communism, a planned society where the government determines the amount of supply and price is safer than capitalism is to ignore the flop that the Soviet Union, pre ww1 Germany and Russia and Communist Cuba have been. Capitalism, with all its cronies and crooks, still is a much better system of providing products (supply) and setting prices because no government can accurately decipher what demand will be and what is the most efficient way to create supply

and that's how ppl get successful. more success means, in general, better chances in mating and bringing up children too. and breed that behaviour a while and you get a bunch of fraudsters and tricksters.

Mainstream media definitely wouldnt share this information because theyre funded by big pharma

It seams to me that the elephant in the room is getting too big to ignore any longer! How come big pharma or Covid wasn't mention in this interview?

Why would any of these careers disqualify them from journal peer reviewing as a whole?

@@verypanda1801 Same reason why you wouldn't trust a fast food worker to do brain surgery: the qualifications to do the job successfully are not the same. Nurses are not required to complete a lab technician course, and any studies that involve lab equipment to replicate and confirm findings need to have peers that work in the same field of expertise to verify if something is true or false. Though anyone can get a degree in something and lie anyway for profit, the crossover of different job positions peer-reviewing studies they have little knowledge about is a giveaway that the studies are fraudulent because they can't verify the validity of the information. TLDR: if they lie and verify a study with contents they know nothing about, they shouldn't be allowed to verify studies which they are qualified to verify because they have shown their willingness to lie.

I systematically went through my own medical history, then that of my parents, grandparents, siblings, children and grandchild. I then looked for known causes of all problems, then commonality. In that way I was able to identify chronic inflammation as a likely cause. Having now tried various ways to control chronic inflammation I feel much better. For me, diet has been the key. I have been able to reverse diabetes and am back to normal. I walk now sometimes without my wheelie walker. My exercise bike is back out of the shed, dusted down and in use. I can touch my toes again. The first step is to take charge of your health yourself, and do the research on your family. The second step is researching what can be done now that the problem has been identified. The third step is to do it. Doctors know how to mitigate symptoms with prescriptions. They don't know causes, so cannot effect cures. Luckily, though, medical information is now readily available to everyone on the internet. Just be circumspect with sources. I actually found Wikipedia really useful. If you try this, then good luck. It worked for me.
