Clare Francis is a pseudonym used since 2010 for hundreds of whistle-blowing emails sent to the editors of scientific journals that call attention to suspected cases of plagiarism and fabricated or duplicated figures.〔Nature. (Research ethics: 3 ways to blow the whistle ) 〕 ==Mixed response from editors== While Francis's allegations are sometimes valid,〔Retraction Watch. (Clare Francis scores a bullseye: Journal of Cell Biology paper retracted for image manipulation )〕 they are not always acted upon. Some editors do not wish to respond to anonymous whistleblowers;〔 others have found Francis's claims to be lacking in verifiability or even a waste of time to investigate.〔The Scientist. (What to do about "Clare Francis" )〕 Tom Reller of Elsevier explains how publishers deal with Francis: In a Labtimes editorial Adam Marcus and Ivan Oransky, who run the Retraction Watch blog, have advocated that "Editors should stop ignoring anonymous whistle-blowers", including Clare Francis.〔http://www.labtimes.org/labtimes/issues/lt2011/lt07/lt_2011_07_39_39.pdf〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Clare Francis (science critic)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
