pubpeer Journal of BUON最近有点烦,12篇中国论文遭PubPeer质疑学术不端

希腊是个神奇的国度,先有IJMM和MMR等众多黑名单期刊之流,现在这个名字很个性的刊物恐怕也要因为这些水货论文而惨遭各个单位拉黑了。简单瞅了一眼它的影响因子,分虽然不高,但是却也是稳步发展的。只是这个自引率也让人堪忧啊!

Figure 3 again. One panel repeated with a 180-deg flip. Colored rectangles added to show unexpected similarity with...
Figure 3 of Tian et al . "Scopoletin induces apoptotic cell death in HeLa cervical cancer cells as depicted by AO/EB staining. Green arrows indicate early apoptotic cells, blue arrows depict late apoptotic cells, purple arrows depict membrane blebbing, yellow arrows depict cells which appear shrunken and red arrows depict loss of membrane shape."
跟上面的操作手段一样

Fig 4 again. Though extensively re-worked, the panels appear to be based on ...
Fig 4 from Zhang et al . "Estimation of apoptotic cell population by annexin V/PI staining at indicated doses of lactucopicrin. ... The results indicate that with increasing doses of the compound, the population of both early and late apoptotic cells increased significantly".
继续P流式图?

UPDATE: Another sighting! Fig 5 from Wang et al . "Estimation of apoptotic cell populations by annexin V/PI staining of HCT-116 cells using flow cytometry...The results revealed that the apoptotic cell populations increased from 3.04% in the controls to 33.9% at 30μM concentration."
终于有个新玩法:把黑白图与彩图相互变一下!放到两篇文章里面!

再来一个新发现:Wu et al 这个文章也有前面提到的那个图!不同团队之间相互合作,多快好省地发表多篇SCI,绝了!

Figure 2. A: "Clonogenic assay for determination of anticolony potential of Cinnamolide in human cervical HeLa cancer cells. Cinnamolide treatment led to a significant and dose-dependent reduction in the number of cancer cell colonies".
Fig 2A of Li et al . "miR-7 induces apoptosis in TPC-1 cancer cells. A. Colony formation by TPC-1 cells transfected with miRNC and miR-7 mimics". Plus 180-deg-flipped version.

Figure 7 in this article is fabricated. The same four images have been used in another JBUON paperin the same issue.
When comparing the two articles, none of the authors are common and the institutions are different. They origin from the same Chinese province though. Together with the strange email addresses, I think these articles have been fabricated by some Chinese papermill.
