Science Journals closing down because of over 11,000 fraudulent study papers

[dennishoddy]

So when is the AHA and ADA shutting down for fraudulent info?

CDC and the AMA too.

"Don't trust science" as we all type into "computers" that make messages appear on the magic glowing screens inside others peoples houses and "pocket communicators" via a "world wide web"

That's all engineering, not science.

It doesn't take much anymore to get something published. Hell, I'm published, but it's been so long I can't even remember which journal it went into, I just linked a conference it was presented at. The whole publish or perish system is part of the problem, so much pressure to get your name out there.

#METOO. I had a piece published in the Fall of 1993, in the Journal of Accounting Case Research by the University of Lethbridge, British Columbia. And, I didn’t get a thing for it!

I think that the laws of physics, chemistry, and engineering sciences still hold true, regardless of the closing down of some journals. So I'm not worried that some cases of fraudulent studies were discovered and acknowledged

Personally, I think it's a good thing that they're retracting bad articles and closing down the journals that published them. It shows that somebody still give a damn about the sciences.

That's why it's called "Computer Engineering" and definitely not "Computer Science" of course.

If people actually cared about science (and mathematics which goes hand in hand) 99% of liberal policies would be outlawed forever.

That's why computer science is in the College of Engineering, as a subset of Electrical Engineering.

Can't trust science anymore (nothing new, huh)

First 3 paragraphs:

Flood of Fake Science Forces Multiple Journal Closures​

But, but, they are peer reviewed!

CDC and the AMA too.

Nature magazine among many others. All the big names in science have been pulling so called Peer reviewed papers because they turned out to be faked. Right now the trust in science by the general public is the lowest it has been in decades no matter what the studies say.
