RESEARCH PARASITES

Data Sharing. Longo and Drazen N Engl J Med 2016; 374:276-277

“people who had nothing to do with the design and execution of the study but use another group’s data for their own ends, possibly stealing from the research productivity planned by the data gatherers, or even use the

data to try to disprove what the original investigators had posited”
