So how common is fraud in science? Manipulation and doctoring of data and figures?
I was trying to do an experiment the other day in the lab but couldn't get the expected result. At first I thought I was just being a brainlet because the paper had over 200 citations. But then I found out everyone I talked to said they couldn't replicate the results aswell and just casually joked around saying those results are "probably a fake lol" and that everyone just cites the paper blindly for their literature reviews because the author is kind of famous.
>A pooled weighted average of 1.97% (N=7, 95%CI: 0.86–4.45) of scientists admitted to have fabricated, falsified or modified data or results at least once –a serious form of misconduct by any standard– and up to 33.7% admitted other questionable research practices. In surveys asking about the behaviour of colleagues, admission rates were 14.12% (N=12, 95% CI: 9.91–19.72) for falsification, and up to 72% for other questionable research practices.

/mlpol/ pls go

why does Veeky Forums let /pol/ rape them?

good thread

Happens all the time, especially when moey is involved.
it doesn't, shitpost threads that actual Veeky Forumsentists and mathematicians don't even open don't count as rape. See the threads where technical discussion occurs, they're devoid of retards because they don't understand any of the material and have no buzzwords to grasp onto for a shitpost.

they don't it's not /pol/ doing the shitposting, but rather /x/ making all the peusdoscience and flat earth wankery, some /qa/ remnants transparently falseflagging as /pol/ in their eternal quest to get it deleted, and /r9k/ for all the women hate threads as sour grapes is their anthem
/pol/ is dealing with far to many raiders, shitposters, and redditors to do much of anything right now

super common, especially in biology where reproduction of results is difficult, because no one gets funding to do reproduction studies.
Not to mention p-hacking, or simple things like leaving out all of the failures and only including your positive results.
