Today was the end of the📅#DeadLine given by Ministry to🏫universities all over
🇨🇳#China to report on👎retracted🎓📄papers and investigations into #Research misconduct and scientific #Fraud, if any.
I'm going to explain to you what has happened and what will likely happen.
China conducts first nationwide review of retractions and research misconduct

Universities must declare all their retractions and launch investigations into misconduct cases; a Nature analysis reveals that since 2021 there have been more than 17,000 retractions with Chinese co-authors.

In 2023,🇬🇧English-language journals included almost 14,000 retraction notes, of which 3/4 of the papers included a
🇨🇳🧑‍🔬Chinese scientist.
😳Scandal is huge because #Hindawi publishing house alone retracted
🎓📄9,600 papers, of which 8,200 had a Chinese co-author -85%-
Scope of the fraud in journals published in Chinese language is unknown.
One of the Great Leap Forward (1959 to 1961) policies sought to make🇨🇳#China the largest #Steel producer.
👨‍🌾Peasants installed🔥backyard furnaces in their communes, melted the🔨#Tools they used to work in the fields to fit Communist Party 🇨🇳👔political commissar's quotas of steel. Fields were not tilled, not planted and a 3-year famine decimated 🇨🇳#China.
In addition to education that certifies your ability to do research and training, to produce a scientific paper u need a laboratory with samples, reagents, instrumentation, computers,software, etc as well as a library and carrying out many trials in the lab prior to write a draft
If u don't have all these thing, the only way to produce your quota of papers
is to copy photos of other papers and plagiarize scientific consolidated literature.
In the coming days, Chinese scientists who are flagged for scientific misconduct will have a hood placed over their heads and taken to a re-education camp for 40 years or more.
They will have a bowl of rice and a glass of water to eat and drink hopefully, they will apologize for defrauding the trust of the Chinese people and they will cheer on President Xi
To the Chinese student who was studying a master's degree at the University of #Sevilla and whom I met.
You told me that I was the typical European who didn't understand your country.
As u probably realize now, I understood your country better than you.
Let me know if you want to leave that dictatorship before the next purge and famine, I will try to do what I can here. Anyway, best wishes and good luck.
