Resolving the Negative Data Publication Dilemma in Translational Stroke Research

Misconduct in Research and Publication: a Dilemma That Is Taking Place

Having considered current reports concerning plagiarisms taking place in the global science community, the authors decided to address the principal reasons, which lead to these illegalities. In recent years, misconduct in research, such as plagiarism, fabrication, falsification, guest author, ghost author, self-citation, etc. have been increasing significantly in scientific papers, proving a la...

Stroke-related translational research.

Stroke-related translational research is multifaceted. Herein, we highlight genome-wide association studies and genetic studies of cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy, COL4A1 mutations, and cerebral cavernous malformations; advances in molecular biology and biomarkers; newer brain imaging research; and recovery from stroke emphasizing cell-...

Misconduct in Research and Publication

Dear Editor, I read the recent publication on “Misconduct in Research and Publication” with great interest[1]. I agree that misconduct in research and publication is not uncommon. Nevertheless, it is rarely mentioned. In fact, there are many incorrect conceptions among researchers on publication ethics. The milder examples are attempts to report only the “positive outcomes&rdq...

Mechanisms and challenges in translational stroke research.

Translating basic science advances into clinical meaning has been challenging for stroke research. This does not, however, mean that the investigation of basic mechanisms is irrelevant. Translation is difficult because the underlying mechanisms are complex and ill-defined. The original focus on neuroprotection has now evolved into a broader consideration of the role of non-neuronal cells in str...
