Faked Crystallography Papers
Posted: Sat Apr 30, 2022 7:42 pm
Seems that there are 800 faked crystallography papers out there that come from doctors at a Chinese hospital needing publications for promotion. 800!!!!
And there'll be plenty more of these out there, of course.Note that the 800 papers under consideration correspond to approximately 1200 structures deposited in the CSD. That is 0.1% of the whole current knowledge in chemical crystallography. In other words, the database is polluted with wrong data.
