RE: So you wanted to be a scientist? Let me tell you what's happening in academia today!
Welcome to corporate science. I recall two editors resigned - from the Lancet and the New England Journal of Medicine - for the same reason: they were sick of publishing fake science sponsored by their advertisers.
Thanks for your comment. It is nice to see that some people still have integrity but I have to wonder how many articles have been published that are shaky...
Oh, if I recall was over 50% junk. It can all be searched - i just can't recall their names.
The deeply serious issue is that the public are sold this naive notion that "science will correct itself" and therefore any fraud is temporary, but that is just not true. Try to research anything leading edge that is not approved by the current dogma and you are going to have a hard life. On the corporate side, $5 bn of profits followed by $1 bn of lawsuits - just do the maths.
