The Center for Scientific Integrity has launched the Medical Evidence Project to tackle flawed and fraudulent medical research, significantly affecting health guidelines. With a $900,000 grant, the project, led by James Heathers, seeks to identify problematic studies that skew meta-analyses. Research marred by errors or misconduct is a critical issue, with estimates suggesting one in every 50 published papers may need retraction. The initiative signifies a growing commitment to improve the quality of medical research and public health, supported by notable figures in the field like Elisabeth Bik and Ivan Oransky.
I don't think anything is more of an immediate threat to people than bad medical research. We're going to find the bad medical evidence that is a threat to quality of life and tell everyone.
It is a great idea to take a very detailed look at such papers. The Center for Scientific Integrity has been expanding and embracing the sleuth movement by helping to fund and support work that is usually done on a volunteer basis.
