#TrustInScience

A recent investigation has sounded an alarm in the global scientific community, revealing that fraudulent scientific publications are proliferating rapidly—at a rate that far outpaces the overall growth of legitimate research. The findings, published in the influential journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) on August 4, point to a crisis that could undermine the credibility of science worldwide if unchecked. This phenomenon is not simply an issue for researchers and academics but raises pressing concerns for policymakers, healthcare providers, and the general public in Thailand and around the world.
