Some of these are being retracted due to obvious ethical lapses\u00e2\u20ac\u201dfraudulent data or plagiarism\u00e2\u20ac\u201dbut some past studies have suggested errors and technical problems were the cause of the majority of problems.<\/p>\n<p>A new analysis, released by PNAS, shows this rosy picture probably isn&#8217;t true. <strong>Researchers like to portray their retractions as being the result of errors, but a lot of these same papers turn out to be fraudulent when fully investigated<\/strong>.
