In my view the case of Dr. Sticklen’s review paper should be investigate first as a violation of confidence, then as a case of presenting fake data and then as a case of plagiarism.
As an inexpert in this specific field, it is not obvious for me which exact part of the paragraph is plagiarism. What is obvious is that the structure of both paragraph are rather similar. However this similarity is not enough to accuse the Dr. Sticklen of plagiarism. It also should be noted that both articles are review papers and as a common practice in scientific publication authors of such articles are ought to combine reviews of papers that are already published. Therefor Dr. Sticklen’s argument about index card mixed-up should be considered when

NRG: Although the chief editor of NRG retracted Dr. Sticklen’s article they described this incident as "a paragraph being paraphrased without attribution". Considering the high prestige of Nature Review Journals among scientific community the retraction can be considered an overwhelming response to this incident. Especially when we note that this is the first ever retracted from any of the 15 Nature Reviews journals. However the retraction and even more drastic measures are justified when it is considered as response to violation of confidence. Additionally, via this action, NRG sent a message to future manuscript reviewer and authors that such misconduct of review policies is not tolerated by NRG editors.
Other possible actions:
The case with details of action taken by NRG and Michigan State University could be sent to other journals. This action should not be seen as an effort to isolate and boycott an active scientist. Other editorial board should invite Dr. Sticklen as a reviewer, but they also must be aware of her medical issue and its possible effect on quality and reliability of her work as a manuscript reviewer.
It is assumed that committee members that investigate this issue at Michigan State University were informed about the author’s medical problem. If this assumption is true, revealing other evidence against and in favor of Dr. Sticklen’s could provide authors,
The author of the article is Walsh, Timothy who has an MD a graduate of Princeton University and of Harvard Medical School. The article was originally published at an organizational site called the American Association for the Advancement of Science, in 1998. The web site was last update on February 24, 2016. The information on the article seems accurate and reliable although sometimes on organizational sites the information is biased toward the
In further support of this finding, Nassar-McMillian and Hakim-Larson (2003) stated that health professionals (physicians,
For example,it say, “Before the Board of Regents announced its decision, the negative press about Southam’s work had gotten the attention of the NIH, which funded his research and required it's investigators to get consent for all studies involving humans.” Another example,it says, “Beecher published a detailed list of the twenty-two worst offenders, including researchers who'd injected children with hepatitis and others who'd poisoned patients under anesthesia using carbon dioxide. Southam’s study was included as example number 17.” These pieces of textual evidence show how NIH found Southam and other scientists were doing unethical
The evocative argument is still unethical and invalid. According to the American Medical Association, physicians and doctors had to sign some version
This proceeding before a Medical Review Panel, pursuant to La. Rev. Stat. §§ 40:1299.41, et seq., is brought by Jimmy Martinez against multiple health care providers, including Dr. Mark Kappelman, a qualified health care provider entitled to have the claim filed against him reviewed by this Panel. The claims made against Dr. Kappelman are mere allegations without support and proof. In a medical malpractice case the burden of proof is on the claimant to establish that Dr. Mark Kappelman’s actions in this matter fell below the standard of care required of similar health care providers. The claimant also bears the burden of proving whether any such alleged act or acts of negligence caused any injuries. It is the duty of the

April Pedersen does a decent job at stating her claims to the readers but often forgets to back her claims up with evidence that is sold and understandable. The lack of correct and clear evidence makes it very difficult for readers to agree with her opinions. As well, a lack of personal testimony is a large problem in the paper. These small leaks in evidence are hard to notice when first reviewing her paper, but after great analyzation any reader can be confused by her failing evidence. Pedersen’s insufficient evidence forces her claims to seem unreasonable leading to large amounts of disagreement and small amounts of acceptance.
Ehrenreich and Fuentes' article is ineffective because witness testimony cannot be validated. Often Ehrenreich and Fuentes supply titles but no documentation. They present alleged experts with no names, disconnected assertives and carefully select only biased witnesses.
In responding to our study of the influence that statistical significance has on reviewers ' recommendations for the acceptance or rejection of a manuscript for publication (Atkinson, Furlong, & Wampold, 1982), Fagley and McKinney (1983) argue that reviewers were justified in rejecting the bogus study when nonsignificant

The general allegation about dishonest presentations is uncomfortable, but these are often scientifically difficult judgements, and are being argued out.
Dr. Hoppin discussed four main responsibilities in guiding reviewer in the reviewing process of scientific paper. When reviewing a scientific article, the role of reviewers is to shear their experience, knowledge, time and provide constructive criticisms and suggestions. The reviewer has to be motivated by providing suggestions for improving the article to be more educational, informative and useful for clinical practice. Also, a good review of a scientific paper requires from the reviewer to be scientific expertise which include awareness and a mastery of the scientific literature. This process needs from the reviewer to has experience and personal background. If the scientific article outside the reviewer expertise; he/she should refuse to review the scientific paper. Moreover, according to Dr. Hoppin, the reviewer needs to have helpful attitude. He/she should seek to be respectful, positive, patient and objective when offering comments and suggestion to authors to improve the scientific article. The reviewer role is to consult and advice not to judge. In addition, before reviewing an article, the reviewer needs to schedule enough time and attention to review the paper before the deadline. The reviewer’s level of experience, length of article and complexity of paper can affect the amount of time required to complete specific task. {{370}}
