FAKE RESEARCH – CAN WE STOP IT? Today many developing as well developed countries under scanner on the issues related Misconduct in science and Medicine, with huge population of more than 1.3 billion with many qualified people wish to improve their career with no facilities try achieving the goals by fraudulent methods. The consequences of scientific misconduct can be damaging for both perpetrators and any individual who exposes it. In a country like India no body like to expose the fraud going in their own departments, there are many ways to bypass, as many online journals support the fraudulent authors by collecting huge sums to publish and ultimately no body complains and fraud goes on,
WHY THE FRAUD CANNOT BE STOPPED In many scientific fields, results are often difficult to reproduce accurately, being obscured by noise, artifacts, and other extraneous data. That means that even if a scientist does falsify data, they can expect to get away with it – or at least claim innocence if their results conflict with others in the same field.
HOW THE FRAUD GOES ON
Some academics believe that scientific colleagues who suspect scientific misconduct should consider taking informal action themselves, or reporting their concerns. This question is of great importance since much research suggests that it is very difficult for people to act or come forward when they see unacceptable behavior, unless they have help from their organizations, however in India the people who complain the fraud are at disadvantage as we see in many or our Medical colleges many people with fraudulent research and substandard degrees are occupying higher chairs, Today many private universities are collaborating fraudulent research for financial gains, UGC recognition and creating pay and take PhD degrees, Much of the papers from unethical online publishers are no value and many are advocating not believe the outcomes of the research following the matters with purity dangerous to humans and animals too, The potentially severe consequences for individuals who are found to have engaged in misconduct also reflect on the institutions that host or employ them and also on the participants in any peer review process that has allowed the publication of questionable research, I we see today the people indulging in fraud can go to protect the cheating and only those expose will be in trouble as we see around, in addition there are public health implications attached to the promotion of medical or other interventions based on dubious research findings, Ease of fabrication, There are no "scientific police" who are trained to fight scientific crimes; all investigations are made by experts in science but amateurs in dealing with criminals. It is relatively easy to cheat although difficult to know exactly how many scientists fabricate data, publishing fake research for award of degrees.
CERTAINLY WE CANNOT STOP FAKE RESEARCH?
