Fake Papers A Symptom Of More Serious Problems In Academia --March 26, 2014


One of the biggest stories in academia recently was the retraction of more than 120 papers http://footnote1.com/fake-papers-a-symp ... -academia/

"One of the biggest stories in academia recently was the retraction of more than 120 papers by well-known journal publishers Springer and the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE).
