You used the phrase 'to eliminate such frauds.' The suggestion (to me) is that this is a fool proof method that eliminates such frauds. I would contend this is not true; fraud is still relatively easy. The question is how much this promotes a false sense of security.
Stapel's fraud was only detected after many years, and after his results had been widely published. I still hear some of his conclusions quoted now and then as if it were established truth, by people who have not yet realised that it is one of the famous Stapel ones.
- denzil_correa 13y agoSome clarifications - + No method/suggestion is fool proof in the world of publications; simply can't be + Stapel's fraud was "data fraud" which is eliminated if your work on publicly available datasets + NLP community encourages work on public data and you can't get Stapel level of recognition if you do not have your data/tools out in the open + Any suggestion/method if not fool proof can be said to promote a false sense of security; it is important to start somewhere rather than maintain status quo
