Few tasks have been asked to correct a bad study of unatcluded scientific magazine. “I think (that) I think it’s time to stop this end-of-time story”, Editor of a diabetes magazine told us Last year, we thought that they have serious statistical errors behind a study by refusing our request. The retraction clock indicated, by previous email, the corresponding paper said: “Data sharing would regulate the permission of learning (participants) and European regulations.” However, such errors would invalidate positive preliminary results for a clinical decision-making tool based on diabetes. These are people we were worried.
Unfortunately, such irresponsible is Very common.
Science informs us of our medical care, flying us from the sky and keeps us safe while driving. However, people do it, mistakes can be made. After all, the blame is man.

Scientific papers are full of bug; For example, age 30% of the controlled randomized tests for childhood obesity may be misreaded. In psychology, 20% or more of the studies The discovery may have inconsistencies with basic descriptive statistics on reliability.
When mistakes occur, the costs can be high. Researchers say that science self-correctionBut often It is not Or it can be forgotten slow. For example, XIX. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the doctors had healthy babiesenlarge“They believed that tigots and wrongly believed that they had sudden death syndrome (SIDS), achieving a 19th century doctor wrong. The radiation therapy was used to reduce thousands of children’s temos, which resulted in major thyroid and breast cancer rates 10,000 deaths. Error recognized and directed in the 1940s. However, a National campaign He launched the National Cancer Institute in 1977 to warn the medical community and warn the public.
Serious mistakes occur in social science publications. Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff economists were published High impact research In 2010, when the country debt exceeds 90% of the gross domestic product, economic growth declines. Family mentioned Political leadersTherefore, he found Austerity policies around the world. Independent researchers later found important errors in Reinhart and Rogoff calculations. A erection He has left the main keys in five countries to increase the average growth, rather than declining, in high levels of debt. Reinhart and Rogoff recognized the error but Argued against other criticism Their analysis and were maintained in general their main findings. This case examines our diabetes that we have found our diabetes in search search searches, where authors do not provide data and editors proactively. And Reinhart and Rogoff initially shared some details of its data analysis publicly, it was insufficient to fully reproduce and verify findings. Did they share the data completely, Identify the error earlier and soon corrected before it could be potentially published.
In Decades of Research in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s research, we will continue the saga of scientific current and scientific manufacturing. Eliezer Masliah, a specialist director of the National Aging National Institute and a specialist neurodegenerative disease, found guilty Scientific behavior after a government investigation. As a result, two paper were back because the images were doctors. News story magazine Science After an independent study, 132 documents from 1997 to 2023 They are suspiciousThe foam; Many of these pieces of paper had a major impact on the field of neurodegenerative disease and the therapeutic development of drugs. A quarter of a century for Alzheimer’s research may have dropped the wrong clue Potential remedies due to this disaster.
Many of us love or love himself slow, weakened and twists himself, others that brings Alzheimers. Tragically, today’s treatments offer limited relief. Despite researchers’ efforts and millions of dollars, progress has been hindered while people are lost to the pest of Alzheimer.
Delaying the delay in the infected fault science correction was entered in the case of 2023 Marc Tessier-LavigneNeurodegenerative scientist and former president of Stanford University. Tessier-Lavigne resign After a panel review expert, they found several paper images published by his team to have manipulated images. Although Tessier-Lavigne was the same exonerated Incorrect research behavior, the review concluded that the Tessier-Lavigne Research Group Supervisor “Failed to be different and correct mistakes in the scientific record.” This case highlights the risks of scientists (especially senioral leaders) Don’t stand To achieve rigor and integrity of science. As experienced, it also highlights failure Editors and magazines to maintain the scientific integrity of scientific literature. He realized that Tessier-Lavigne tried to do corrections for documents Cabin and Science, but Cabin At first it was not necessary, and correction Science It was not published in the beginning as a result of a draft error.
Such Delays and failures To correct the known mistakes, do not hurt the public and stationary progress can also be worn in public confidence in scientific research. Therefore, scientists and the magazines published must make an effort to correct mistakes. Scientists need to commit to no commitment to report sharp and accurate and reliable research; All our well-being hangs in balance.
Not everything is bad. We know the mistakes mentioned here, because science takes a company seriously, even if individuals did not. Science has always been on self-improvement. I innovate who will meet the world and help all these views.
We still hope. When the bad science remains uncontrollable, it harms us all. And we have to do better. How many more progress could we do and how much more life would we save?
