这篇42分的文章都被撤了,还有什么可以相信的
很多时候,我们可能会遇到这样的情况:发现自己做来的结果与别人发表文章不一致,然后查了一下这个期刊,原来是5分或者10分,分数这么高,他的结果肯定是对的,然后就是怀疑自己的问题。不管文章发在多么官威的期刊,只要经不起多次验证的都是不可信的。就好比这篇42分(nature)的文章一样,虽然没有太大的问题,就是图片存在异常,编辑们仍然相信这结果应该是可信的,但是还是撤回来了。
文章标题:Retraction Note: Fatty acids and cancer-amplified ZDHHC19 promote STAT3 activation through S-palmitoylation
撤稿详细原因:
We, the authors, are retracting this Letter owing to anomalies in Figs. 2j, 3a and 3d. We and the Nature editors reviewed the data and found that these anomalies were present in the digital scans of the original western blot films, which could not be located for further examination. Although repeat experiments at the time of writing the paper have reproduced the data, the anomalies undermine confidence in the published Letter. We therefore believe that the most appropriate course of action is to retract this Letter in its entirety. We thank the readers who brought the issues to our attention, and apologize to the scientific community. We remain confident that the key findings of the Letter are valid and reproducible. All authors agree with the Retraction.
