Bogus research
may be forgotten, its perpetrators
|
|
|
disgraced or
dead, but tainted writings endure. As Mallon
|
|
(1989) wrote, “To
put one’s theft into print is to have it
|
|
|
forever on the
library shelves, guiltily stacked just an
|
|
|
aisle away from
the volume it victimized, a stain that
|
|
|
doesn’t wash but
forever circulates.”

In 1997, Altman
and I wrote, “Unfortunately, the
|
|
|
mechanisms for
notifying purchasers [and users] of
|
|
|
bogus,
falsified, and simply erroneous publications are
|
|
|
even weaker than
the mechanisms for detecting them.”
|
|
|
Has this
situation changed?
