Besides pure fraud, manipulation takes many forms, such as adding to abstracts or titles words not supported by the data in order to increase the probability to be picked up during searches. A second problem are the journals (many online) with poor reviewing and withotu the possiblity to send letters to the editor. Manipulation of data is much more common than overall believed.

]]> Comment on New paper in forensic bioinformatics by vinodh sri http://www.reproducibleresearch.net/blog/2009/10/13/new-paper-in-forensic-bioinformatics/comment-page-1/#comment-339 vinodh sri Wed, 20 Jan 2010 01:49:32 +0000 http://www.reproducibleresearch.net/blog/?p=149#comment-339 I am an advocate of reproducible research and a big fan of reproducibleresearch.net initiative. I went over the paper on forensic bioinformatics briefly and found some of the data-sources hyper links are broken. It will be worth it coming up with a topic in this blog that talks about "Staying connected with all the raw materials to enable a better reproducible research".

]]> Comment on Open Access Week by Some Random Internet Dude http://www.reproducibleresearch.net/blog/2009/10/20/open-access-week/comment-page-1/#comment-169 Some Random Internet Dude Mon, 14 Dec 2009 17:47:33 +0000 http://www.reproducibleresearch.net/blog/?p=157#comment-169 I haven't seen any of the reproducible research people discussing the foolishness of the East Anglia CRU -- clearly, if they had been using any basic concepts of literate programming they wouldn't be up the creek. Such "famous" figures using such archaic methods, with much in the balance. Just something to think about: when big-picture science and international politics collide, shouldn't the core science be based around a methodological philosophy of reproducible research? Wouldn't it have been great if they could have had several Sweave files ready to go?

]]> Comment on Research data. Who cares? by Pieter Van Gorp http://www.reproducibleresearch.net/blog/2009/09/16/research-data-who-cares/comment-page-1/#comment-147 Pieter Van Gorp Tue, 03 Nov 2009 14:37:34 +0000 http://www.reproducibleresearch.net/blog/?p=143#comment-147 Hi Patrick, thanks for your enthusiasm about SHARE. I would like to point you to a band new initiative: http://planet-research20.org/ser2009/index.php?option=com_community&view=profile&Itemid=93 That community site should be filled with nice content pretty soon. Apart from that, do you mind making people aware of SHARE on http://reproducibleresearch.net/index.php/How_to ? I think especially for those who are currently reluctant to make their research reproducible due to licensing and ownership issues can be convinced "to SHARE" while they cannot so easily be convinced to upload code and data to a public/uncontrolled download site such as http://rr.epfl.ch/ I don't want to go too much off-topic in this post; instead, I propose to extend your HOWTO and link to the SHARE article as soon as it is published.

The domains you have mentioned are short and specific. If developed correctly they could be a valuable addition to the internet and the field of science.
