New detection tools powered by AI have lifted the lid on what some are
calling an epidemic of fraud in medical research and publishing.
Last year, the number of papers retracted by research journals topped
10,000 for the first time.

One case involved the chief of a cancer surgery division at Columbia
University’s medical center. An investigation found that dozens of his
cancer treatment studies contained dubious data and recycled images.
Other scandals have hit Harvard on the East Coast and on the West
Coast it is Stanford University. A scandal there resulted in the
resignation of the president last year.
