“a major pay-for-win garbage science laundromat” you mean
what. the. fuck.
Hey, I tried to look this up on the web for the original news source, but didn’t find any. Can you please share the link? I’d like to share a more formal news story with my collaboration group.
This site is credible.
These guys are amazing. They are doing the good work to change things. It links to the original news report (not English) with a lot more context:
Super! Thanks
Romanian here working in Academia, can confirm this happened and was a huge headline in the press a few weeks ago. Let me know if you need more info.
Thanks for the offer. I had forwarded the retraction watch article to my colleagues and we had a chat about this incident. I don’t think we’ll be sending our work to MPDI, ever!
It just breaks my heart to see so many people from eastern Europe and Asian countries exploited for their labour.
This is really not ok. WTF.
This is not a meme
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
