Abstract

Despite the obvious frauds published in [1] [2] and the involvement of Editors and Editors in Chief of the journals in the publication of these fraudulent papers, the Editors in Chief of publishers have not taken any action to retract the fraudulent papers or to dismiss the corrupt editors. By this passivity, these Editors in Chief are supporting plagiarism, dissemination of fraudulent data, lies and making published information unreliable. In the present paper, we evaluate examples of bold, fraudulent publications and give the names of some Editors directly participating in concealing fraudulent publications, together with the names of Editors in Chief who also concealed and covered the facts of fraud and were reluctant to remove the fraudulent papers from circulation or to remove cheaters from editorial positions. The truth is universal and international; in contrast, the lie is individual and partisan, social, political, confessional, cultural and dirty. Knowledge is a truth that is part of the Universe. Lies are a tool of manipulation and can exist only in distinct environments that produce and support them. In this paper, we will show how artificial prefabricated analytical procedures were used to disseminate false data with the aim of substituting the truth with fraud.

Introduction

More than a decade ago, the antimalarial drug primaquine was reported to be heavily contaminated with theHow to cite this paper: Brondz, I. (2015) Analytical Methods in the Quality Control of Scientific Publications Part V: The Fraud of Pseudoscientists Based on False Measurements and Method Development. Despite all attempts of pharmaceutical authorities to ignore the presence in primaquine of alien toxic substances and all efforts to prevent dissemination of knowledge about this, the latest published pharmacopoeias were compelled to acknowledge the force of facts and require a reduction of the presence of quinocide under the definition of “related substances” to 3% [12]-[16]. All these pharmacopoeias avoided naming the alien toxic contaminant as quinocide directly; instead, the contaminant was named as “related substances”. After the old tablet stockpiles were consumed, the level of allowed contamination with “related substances” was reduced in pharmacopoeias to 1.5%
