I thought I’d post a brief update on a story from last year where I was alerted by @MattiasAine via one of my TwitterBots about a group ripping off his Karlsson 2014 paper. The evidence was pretty damning – almost identical data, analysis, and figures simply rotated in the Zhao 2015 version. I alerted the editors of Tumor Biology to the problems with the 2015 paper and it has now been retracted and taken down from the site.
