Mea Culpa: Scientific misconduct
What is this about?
Much had been written recently in the anesthesia literature about scientific misconduct, precipitated in large part by revelations and ongoing allegations of misconduct involving Dr Joachim Boldt and that required retraction of more than 60 articles from the medical literature[1].
In this article the writer wrote an opinion from the perspective of the chair of a research ethics board.Why is this important?
An article that contains false information, once published and even if retracted, often continues to be cited and included in reviews, lectures, and meta-analyses. These, in turn, could affect medical practice and public policy for considerable periods[2].
