Title: Identification and analysis of problematic human gene research articles
Speakers:
Jennifer Byrne, Professor of Molecular Oncology, School of Medical Sciences, University of Sydney
Pranujan Pathmendra, PhD candidate, University of Sydney
Yasunori Park, Research Associate, University of Sydney
Abstract:
Preclinical human gene research articles that describe wrongly identified experimental reagents describe incorrect information and could be produced with undeclared external assistance from organisations known as paper mills.
Visiting members of the Publication and Research Integrity in Medical Research (PRIMeR) research group from the University of Sydney, Australia, will summarise their previous research in this field, and present unpublished data that describe emerging features, prevalence and literature citations of problematic gene research articles.
