* Workshop on Research Instrument and International Publication organized by Physics Study Program Held at Science Building FMIPA, Makassar, April 2nd 2014

•Background: more retractions and irreproducible papers, cost of misconducts

• Misconducts (MCs): Plagiarism, Self-plagiarism, salami/tempe pub., bogus Authorship, COI

•Avoidance & Detectors: software

•Unhas efforts against MCs: Self-Assessment & Declarations

Article withdrawal Policies and Formshttps://www.elsevier.com/about/publishing-guidelines/policies/article-withdrawal

Article Withdrawal: Only used for Articles in Press which represent early versions of articles and sometimes contain errors, or may have been accidentally submitted twice. Occasionally, but less frequently, the articles may represent infringements of professional ethical codes, such as multiple submission, bogus claims of authorship, plagiarism, fraudulent use of data or the like.

Article Retraction: Infringements of professional ethical codes, such as multiple submission, bogus claims of authorship, plagiarism, fraudulent use of data or the like. Occasionally a retraction will be used to correct errors in submission or publication.

Article Removal: Legal limitations upon the publisher, copyright holder or author(s).

Article Replacement: Identification of false or inaccurate data that, if acted upon, would pose a serious health risk.

…………the importance of the scholarly archive as a permanent, historic record of the transactions of scholarship. Articles that have been published shall remain extant, exact and unaltered as far as is possible. However, very occasionally circumstances may arise where an article is published that must later be retracted or even removed.

Misconduct-related retractions Increase….

Misconduct-related retractions Increase…(continued)

Irreproducible findings

Unfortunately, Amgen's findings are consistent with those of others in industry. A team at Bayer HealthCare in Germany last year reported4 that only about 25% of published preclinical studies could be validated to the point at which projects could continue.

Fifty-three papers were deemed 'landmark' studiesNevertheless, scientific findings were confirmed in only 6 (11%) cases.

Glenn Begley, former head of research at Amgen in Thousand Oaks, California, made headlines back in March when he revealed that scientists at his company had been unable to validate the conclusions of 47 out of 53 ‘landmark’ papers — papers exciting enough to inspire the possibilities of drug-discovery programmes. In one study, which has been cited over 1,900 times, not even the original researchers could reproduce the results in their own laboratory.

He listed six warning signs that a paper’s conclusions are unreliable: specimens were assessed without blinding, not all results were shown, experiments were not repeated, inappropriate statistical tests were used, reagents weren’t validated (polyclonal antibodies have limited uses) and positive and negative controls were not shown.

Flawed papers appear regularly in high-impact journals: “Once you start looking, it’s in every issue,” Begley said. Top-tier journals are publishing sloppy science, he continued.
