    Weekend reads: French agency’s research director sanctioned; AI data woes at MIT; is disruptive science over?

    Dear RW readers, can you spare $25?

    The week at Retraction Watch featured:

    • Scopus indexed a journal with a fake editorial board and a sham archive. When we asked them about it, they removed it.
    • Can a better ID system for authors, reviewers and editors reduce fraud? STM thinks so.
    • Correction finally issued seven years after authors promise fix ‘as soon as possible.’
    • Researchers to pull duplicate submission after reviewer concerns and Retraction Watch inquiry.
    • Genentech authors flip PNAS study from corrected to retracted following Retraction Watch coverage.

    Our list of retracted or withdrawn COVID-19 papers is up past 500. There are more than 59,000 retractions in The Retraction Watch Database — which is now part of Crossref. The Retraction Watch Hijacked Journal Checker now contains more than 300 titles. And have you seen our leaderboard of authors with the most retractions lately — or our list of top 10 most highly cited retracted papers? What about The Retraction Watch Mass Resignations List — or our list of nearly 100 papers with evidence they were written by ChatGPT?

    Here’s what was happening elsewhere (some of these items may be paywalled, metered access, or require free registration to read):

    • “CNRS chemist punished for scientific fraud.” A link to our previous coverage.
    • “It should be completely normal to ask, ‘so how did you actually get this amazing data anyway?'”, says Stuart Buck, who first spotted problems with MIT’s AI paper.

    Genentech authors flip PNAS study from corrected to retracted following Retraction Watch coverage

    The authors of a 2006 paper have retracted their article following an extensive correction in January – and a Retraction Watch story noting the correction missed at least one additional issue with the work.

    “Death-receptor activation halts clathrin-dependent endocytosis,” published in July 2006 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, has been cited 99 times, according to Clarivate’s Web of Science. Most of the authors were affiliated with the biotech company Genentech. 

    As we previously reported, commenters on PubPeer raised issues about possible image duplications, spurring the authors to review the work. The January correction addressed about two dozen instances of image splicing and duplication in five of the paper’s figures. The notice stated the authors repeated the experiments for a manuscript posted on bioRxiv in October 2024. “The new data confirms the original results, reaffirming the experimental conclusions,” the authors wrote in the correction notice. 

    Biologist and scientific sleuth David Sanders identified another image duplication in the paper, which he reviewed at our request. Prashant Nair from the PNAS news office told us at the time it was “inadvertently omitted,” and the journal would update the correction notice to include the duplication. 

    But on May 15, the article was retracted instead. The retraction notice reiterates the “additional potential duplication” had been “previously identified and submitted for correction by the authors, but inadvertently omitted from the January 3, 2025, correction note.” The statement, attributed to the authors, concludes, “At this time, we believe that retraction, rather than further correction, is the most prudent course of action.”

    Nair confirmed the authors decided to retract the article, as did a representative from Genentech. “We confirm that the authors believed retraction to be the most prudent course of action, and on that basis, requested retraction of the paper,” said Karen Ring, Genentech senior manager for science communications, public affairs and access. Both Nair and Ring said they had nothing further to add beyond the retraction notice.

    “Compared to many cases in which I am involved, the authors and the journal have acted somewhat swiftly and ultimately correctly,” Sanders said. 

    He also suggested that corrections should be subject to scrutiny.  “With an alarming frequency, initial corrections prove to be either inadequate (as in this example) or actually deceptive (as in many other examples),” he said. “Corrections should be monitored by sleuths as closely as the original articles.”

    Researchers to pull duplicate submission after reviewer concerns and Retraction Watch inquiry 

    While doing a literature review earlier this spring, a human factors researcher came across a paper he had peer-reviewed. One problem: He had reviewed it – and recommended against publishing – for a different journal not long before the publication date of the paper he was now looking at. 

    Based on the published paper and documents shared with us, it appears the authors submitted the same manuscript to the journals Applied Sciences and Virtual Reality within 11 days of each other, and withdrew one version when the other was published. 

    And after we reached out to the authors, the lead author told us they plan to withdraw the published version next week – which the editor of the journal had called for in April but its publisher, MDPI, had not yet decided to do. 

    The journal Applied Sciences published the paper, “Correlations between SSQ Scores and ECG Data during Virtual Reality Walking by Display Type,” on March 4, 2024.

    Both the first author of the paper, Mi-Hyun Choi, and the senior author, Jin Seung Choi, are professors at Konkuk University in Seoul, South Korea.

    The reviewer, who asked us to remain anonymous, received the manuscript from editors at Virtual Reality on January 22. That manuscript had a submission date of January 2, less than two weeks before the authors submitted it to Applied Sciences. 

    “I reviewed this human-subject study and noticed, curiously, that there was no ethics statement on the paper detailing whether there had been any ethics approval,” he said, noting at the time he raised these concerns to the editor in chief of Virtual Reality. 

    In the published version, the authors state the protocol was approved by the university’s Institutional Review Committee. 

    In the review report we saw, the reviewer wrote the manuscript couldn’t be published in its current form because it didn’t properly cite prior research on the topic, lacked a novel thesis and lacked statistical rigor.

    “In isolation, each of these omissions could warrant a minor revision, however, the manuscript is quite scant on detail and unfortunately reads more like a conference paper or a short-and-sweet-paper,” he wrote on Jan. 23, 2024. 

    But after he raised these concerns to the editor-in-chief, he didn’t see the paper again, he told us. Then, he was informed the authors withdrew it from consideration on March 5 — the day after, it turns out, Applied Sciences published its version.

    In emails we have seen from this April, the reviewer brought the dual submission to the attention of both journals. In response, Rob Macredie, the editor-in-chief for Virtual Reality, noted the authors stated in their cover letter to the journal that the paper was “currently not under review, nor it will [sic] be submitted to another journal while under consideration for Virtual Reality.”

    Later that month, Giulio Cerulo, the editor in chief of Applied Sciences, told the reviewer the double submission was a “clear violation of the ethical standards and, in my opinion, it should lead to a retraction of the published article.”

    But when we followed up with Applied Sciences, an MDPI title, they said they were still investigating the paper. Jisuk Kang, the publishing manager at MDPI, said in an email the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) “retraction guidelines do not support the retraction of a published article based solely on dual submission, if the integrity of the data remains intact.” Kang noted the journal was still reviewing the paper and if the investigation uncovered misconduct, “further action will be taken as appropriate.”

    COPE considers dual and multiple submissions “unethical practices in academic publishing,” but the organization doesn’t recommend a  course of action once the papers are already published. 

    For a similar case submitted to COPE, the members said the organization would “always advocate educational rather than punitive action” and suggested editors publish an editorial “on the ethics of dual submissions.”

    Jin Seung Choi first told us earlier this month the dual submission was “not appropriate,” and he said it was a “simple oversight” by the authors. He also said he would not support the retraction of the paper, as it contains “no plagiarism, misconduct, or issues concerning research originality.”

    “Although it was my mistake, I think it would not have happened if the submission system had been able to recognize in advance that it was under review by another journal,” he told us.

    After we followed up to confirm his affiliation this week, Jin Seung Choi told us he would withdraw the paper after meeting with his co-authors next week. “I do not want the problem to spread any further,” he wrote.

    The reviewer told us he suspected “the authors either misrepresented themselves or acted maliciously” and were familiar with the submission process for journals. 

    The paper has been cited once by a paper in the same journal, according to Clarivate’s Web of Science.

    Correction finally issued seven years after authors promise fix ‘as soon as possible’

    A journal has finally issued a correction following a seven-year-old exchange on PubPeer in which the authors promised to fix issues “as soon as possible.” But after following up with the authors and the journal, it’s still not clear where the delay occurred.

    Neuron published the paper, “Common DISC1 Polymorphisms Disrupt Wnt/GSK3β Signaling and Brain Development,” in 2011. It has been cited 101 times, 28 of which came after concerns were first raised, according to Clarivate’s Web of Science. 

    It first appeared on PubPeer in April 2018, when commenter Epipactis voethii first pointed out figures 2 and 3 of the paper had potential image duplication. 

    Shortly after, Li-Huei Tsai,  the co-corresponding author and the director of the Picower Institute for Learning and Memory at MIT, responded on PubPeer saying the authors were “currently working with the journal to resolve this issue.”

    That same month, PubPeer commenters debated the merits of the image similarity accusations, and some raised concerns about the statistical analyses, questioning the tests used and validity of p values. 

    The authors were silent until earlier this year, when PubPeer commenter Actinopolyspora biskrensis reignited the discussion with more possible instances of image overlap in the article. In April, Tsai commented yet again that the authors “have found the original data and are working with the Journal to correct the errors.” She did not respond to Actinopolyspora’s request for original images. 

    Tsai forwarded our request for comment — including our request for clarification on why the correction took as long as it did — to a communications director for the Picower Institute, who sent us the text from the May 2025 correction notice. The notice says the “duplication errors” in six figures were “mistakenly,” “erroneously” or “incorrectly” in the paper. The authors said they “mixed up” images and made several cropping errors, but said the errors were made post-analysis. 

    Queen Muse, the head of media for Cell Press, which publishes Neuron, told us the journal has “no comment beyond what’s included in the published correction notice, which outlines the relevant details.”
