Complain about your government in your next scientific publication
You can find it in a paper published in 2004 by a Spanish research group:
This work has been carried out despite the economical difficulties of the authors’ country. The authors want to overall remark the clear contribution of the Spanish Government in destroying the R&D horizon of Spain and the future of a complete generation
J.L. Padilla, P. Padilla, J.F. Valenzuela-Valdés, J. Ramírez, J.M. Górriz, RF fingerprint measurements for the identification of devices in wireless communication networks based on feature reduction and subspace transformation, Measurement, Volume 58, 2014, Pages 468-475, ISSN 0263-2241
Abstract: This document proposes a radiofrequency (RF) fingerprinting strategy for the proper identification of wireless devices in mobile and wireless networks. The proposed identification methods are based on the extraction of the preamble RF fingerprint of a device and its comparison with a set of already known device RF fingerprints. The identification method combines techniques for feature reduction such as Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Partial Least Squares regression (PLS), both based on subspace transformation, along with a similarity-based analysis. In this work, a complete procedure for RF fingerprint data extraction and analysis is provided. In addition, some experimentation with commercial Wi-Fi devices is carried out for the methods validation.
Keywords: RF Fingerprint; Subspace transformation; Wireless communications; Network identification
After, they released a corrigendum, what a pity:
The Prof. JM Górriz and Prof. J. Ramírez regret to have missed to add the below note in their article
Note: Prof. Juan M. Górriz and Prof. Javier Ramírez do not share this view about using research outcomes as a protest against any democratic government.
The authors would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Wow, I have never seen something like that... I am conflicted, sure it makes it look unprofessional, but at the same time it is important to shine a spotlight into this huge issue! How is it expected for high level science developments to be produced when there is no support provided to do so? Nice find, @metabs
Hi @irime. I was also surprised, but you are a researcher so you know it is possible to find very weird things in the "acknowledgments" section of the scientific papers (people saying thanks to the dog, to the unemployment fund, etc.). I guess here is related with the drastic reduction of funding in the research projects in Spain, which rely mostly on the government, since innovation and research is not the best Spanish businessmen quality
