    Retractions happen in many countries.

    Of the 20 countries that had retractions of 5 or more papers, the highest rate of retraction for plagiarism was found in Italy, where 66.7% of retractions resulted from plagiarism (Table 2). This was followed by Turkey at 61.5%, Iran and Tunisia at 42.9% each,and France at 38.5%. In total, 12 countries had rates of plagiarism higher than the 16.6% average calculated for the sample. China’s plagiarism rate was 16.8%, almost double the United States’ rate of 8.5%. Both Finland and Germany recorded rates of 0.

    For duplicate publication, fewer countries had retraction rates higher than the 18.1% sample average, and the range of rates was smaller. Finland had the highest rate of duplicate publication at 37.5%, followed by China at 29.4% and Tunisia at 28.6%. Japan (22.8%) and Iran (21.4%) also had rates above the sample average, while the rate of duplicate publication in the United States was below the average, at 13.1%. Only Sweden retracted no papers for duplicate publication.

    Now, can you stop derailing this thread about a National Park in China? Not every thread about something occurring in China needs to be turned into anti-CPC drivel. Retracted papers, what the heck?

    China is considering turning the entire Tibetan plateau and surrounding mountains into a huge national park to protect “the last piece of pure land”, according to scientists briefed on the project.
    The International press picked up on that. Did United Airlines announce that a passenger was dragged off their plan and suffered a broken nose?

    Careful, bro. Apparently, you'll be labeled terms like "shill" or "wumao" if your posts don't contain anything but disparaging comments about the CCP/HK gov't.
