It has been published, but a staggering number of scientific "papers" coming out of China are turning out to be complete fabrications.
Correct, so it should be independently reviewed and recreated to validate the claims. Crying wolf just because there were issues before wouldn't be fair.
So you don’t base any of your decisions on past experiences?
Not when it comes to scientific research.
If the same person or someone acting under the same supervisor in the same faculty published some more amazing sounding research after previous ones had been debunked, I'd be sceptical.
But in a country with 1.4bn people and more than 3.000 universities? There's gotta be some bad eggs, but you can't discredit every single one due to the actions of a few.
I've met brilliant scientists in and from China.
The trick is that they're literally spamming papers at this point.
