Hello All

These days Nobel prizes are distributed. But at the same time there are a lot of frauds in published researches. In 2021 "Retraction Watch" in its twitter page, shared us, that there were 30000 retractions in its Database. please see the link below:

But now, in 2022, according to its own page it has 35000 retracted papers in its database (see the attachment). In just some one year 5000 retractions were added to its database.

These retractions are in any academic disciplines. Some of them in Medical Sciences, Biology, Agriculture, and Food sciences are direct threats to our health (like the book attached here about Food Fraud). While other scientific frauds pose many other long lasting threats to all of us around the world.

I have worked on dark sides of sciences and their threats to all of us everywhere (some of them in the forms of discussions and answers in RG) . Along with educating and informing, one thing that can attract attention and curiosity of all may be a World Prize in this regard.

  • I think if we work together we may have a louder voice to discourage wrongdoers in the world of academia.
  • Please share your opinion, what you think , how better we can come together, how to fight back these misconducts in sciences?

Thank you
