Chapter 96 Who is faking it? (6k three-in-one, not easy to break)

When Song Ke was called to the conference room for a meeting, he was still confused.

He was still in the office correcting students' papers when he suddenly received a call from the dean.

On the phone, the dean's tone was extremely serious, and he only said one sentence to Song Ke.

"305 meeting, hurry up, we have something important to say."

After saying this, the dean hung up the phone.

This made Song Ke's heart skip a beat.

Sometimes, the shorter the words, the more serious the situation is.

Because there is no time to explain.

And you can tell from the dean's tone that this is not a good thing.

Song Ke didn't dare to neglect, he quickly stopped what he was doing and hurried towards the conference room.

When he arrived at the conference room, Song Ke felt that the atmosphere in the conference room was already a little subtle.

The conference room was obviously full of people, but it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. The depression in the air seemed to have condensed into substance, making people feel breathless.

Song Ke glanced around the conference room, and soon he discovered the clues.

In the conference room, in addition to a few professors Song Ke knew, there were also professors from other departments.

And they have a common identity, members of the society committee.

Being able to bring all members of the academic committee in the school together can only mean one thing.

Someone in the school is committing academic misconduct!
Although I don’t know who actually stepped on this high-voltage red line, it also made Song Ke nervous.

Song Ke's eyes finally fell on the empty seat next to Ji Hong.

He walked to sit next to Ji Hong, then lowered his voice and asked quietly: "Old Ji, what's going on? Who committed the crime?"

Ji Hong shook his head and said that he didn't know either. He was also called to the conference room just now.

At this time, the principal sitting at the front spoke, his voice hoarse and said: "Since everyone is here, let's start our meeting."

"The topic of this meeting is about student Lu Liang's academic fraud!"

"impossible!"

The moment he heard the principal's words, Ji Hong stood up suddenly and almost blurted out, his expression was surprised and shocked.

Ji Hong rarely showed such a gaffe, but the sudden incident still made him feel incredible.

Although he had already guessed that the topic of this meeting was related to academic misconduct.But he never expected that this kind of thing would happen to Lu Liang.

Song Ke also widened his eyes in horror.

The principal took a deep breath and then said, "Teacher Ji, please calm down first and wait until I finish talking."

Ji Hong forced down the doubts and uneasiness in his heart, and then sat down.

The principal spoke again: "The cause of the matter is that a foreign scholar uploaded an experimental paper to the arXiv website. In the paper, experimental mice were used to conduct research, proving that Shuyoulile has no therapeutic effect on hemophilia."

After hearing what the principal said, Song Ke spoke in disbelief: "Did they make a mistake somewhere? Did they reproduce the experiment according to the method in our paper?"

Unsuccessful test reproduction is a very normal thing in scientific research, but this does not mean that the paper is fraudulent.

Ji Hong also nodded quickly to agree. He was the person who least wanted to see this matter confirmed.

If Lu Liang's fraud is confirmed, Lu Liang's future academic career will be completely over.

The principal waved his hand, signaling the two of them to calm down.

In fact, he didn't want to see this kind of thing happen. It was hard for the school to have such a student, so naturally he wanted to investigate what the problem was.

The principal took a deep breath and said, "The other party claimed that every step they took was done according to our method, and they insisted that Lu Liang was a fraud and asked Nature to withdraw the manuscript."

Ji Hong and Song Ke couldn't help but frown at this moment. Logically speaking, if this kind of experiment was unsuccessful, they should first communicate with the author to see if there was something wrong with them.

But the other party's attitude was surprisingly tough. He directly posted the paper on the arXiv website and began to condemn it.

This has to make people suspect that the other party had no good intentions from the beginning, or that he came directly to Lu Liang.

The principal said again: "Moreover, the most important thing now is that this matter is no longer an academic matter. The entire Internet has become a commotion. Not only that, many foreign scholars are also paying attention to this matter."

After hearing what the principal said, Ji Hong and Song Ke couldn't help but feel their hearts sinking. Ji Hong said, "What should we do now?"

The principal replied: "It's very simple, we have no way to prove that the other party was wrong."

"Then the only thing we can do is to come up with more detailed and comprehensive data to prove that we are not wrong!"

Ji Hong was silent for a moment and then nodded: "I understand, I'll do it now."

The principal nodded: "This matter must be done as soon as possible."

Meanwhile, in the dormitory.

"Victory!"

A big victory appears on the computer screen as the game base crystal explodes.

Lu Liang breathed a long sigh of relief, and then briefly moved his fingers.

The process of this game can be described as exciting, and the number of heads was once at a disadvantage. Fortunately, Kassadin managed to reach level 16.

So the game ended almost without any suspense.

Lu Liang took out a mint from his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth. When he was about to start another game, the door of the dormitory was pushed open and Cheng Ming rushed in in a panic.

After seeing Lu Liang still playing games leisurely, Cheng Ming said anxiously: "Old Lu, why are you still in the mood to play games here? Didn't you read what's going on online?"

"Let me guess, something happened to me again?" Lu Liang said calmly.

Cheng Ming was stunned for a moment, and then asked with some confusion: "Have you already seen it?"

"have not seen."

"Then how did you know?"

"Every time you open your mouth, something is going on, and I can guess it."

Lu Liang sighed and said, "Lao Cheng, can't you say something else?"

"Okay, stop talking, something really big happened to you this time!" Cheng Ming was not in the mood to joke with Lu Liang now.

After seeing Cheng Ming's anxious look, Lu Liang also stopped joking: "What, is it serious?"

"Hey, Lao Lu, you can see for yourself!" Cheng Ming sighed in frustration, then took out his cell phone and put it in front of Lu Liang.

Lu Liang glanced at the phone after taking it, and frowned when he saw the title of the article displayed on the screen.

"Foreign scholars published research papers showing that Shuyoulile cannot treat hemophilia. They believe that there is academic fraud in the paper published by Lu Liang and asked Nature to retract the paper!"

Academic fraud?

Or are foreign scholars questioning it?
Lu Liang narrowed his eyes slightly. Did he make a mistake somewhere?
With a doubtful attitude, Lu Liang clicked into the article.

The article introduces a research paper uploaded to the arXiv website. This is a research paper by a scholar from Aalborg University.

The permanent test results in this paper show that Shuyoulile has no therapeutic effect on hemophilia.

Therefore, the first author of the paper directly determined that Lu Liang had committed academic fraud.

When he saw this conclusion, Lu Liang couldn't help but frown. The test result was indeed a bit beyond his expectation.

Because he did the entire experiment himself and tested the experimental data in the paper himself, he can guarantee the authenticity of those data.

As for why the other party came to such a completely opposite result?

Lu Liang also felt very puzzled.

In addition, Lu Liang had another doubt.

That's why the other party didn't publish this paper in a journal, but posted it on the arXiv website?
Of course, that's not the most important thing right now.

After withdrawing from this article, Lu Liang opened the hot search list for scarves.

Sure enough, the words "Lu Liang committed academic fraud" have topped the list of hot searches for scarves.

The most important thing is that the second hot search below this hot search is the same hot search where Youth Daily reported that he published an article in the regular issue of Nature.

Because of the Youth Daily's previous promotion of him, many netizens on the Internet knew about him.

Therefore, as soon as the hot search for fraud came out, a cascade amplification effect was directly formed, causing the matter to spread at an alarming speed.

Now the entire Internet is in an uproar.

After all, this sudden reversal was unexpected by everyone.

Lu Liang randomly opened a comment section and flipped through it. As expected, everyone was attacking him.

"I have read both Nature and arXiv papers. I have not found any problems in either paper, but I am still more willing to trust foreign scholars. After all, foreign scholars are more authoritative~laugh!"

A certified researcher expressed his thoughts.

"Foreign scholars have already written their papers, and everything has been confirmed. What is there to say?" commented a person whose ID is 'Academic Counterfeiter Zhang Quan'.

"Gan, the shame has been thrown abroad. That guy is shameless, and we still want shame."

"Hurry up and withdraw the manuscript. Don't embarrass yourself again."

The angry comments and doubts on the Internet were like a raging flood, sweeping towards Lu Liang overwhelmingly.

Looking at these voices on the Internet, Lu Liang grinned.

Obviously, everyone on the Internet now believes that Lu Liang is a liar who committed academic fraud, and that the Shuyoulile developed by Lu Liang has no effect in treating hemophilia at all.

This is a very troublesome problem.

Lu Liang could not care about the doubts of those people on the Internet; but he had to care about everyone's doubts about Shu Youli Le.

Currently, Sulfurele is in phase III clinical trials. If this incident forces the phase III clinical trials of the drug to be interrupted, that would be the biggest trouble.

and many more!

Lu Liang suddenly realized a problem.

The other party wouldn’t have come here just for the medicine from the beginning, right?
Lu Liang felt that there was something indescribably weird about this incident.

But he couldn't be sure now.

However, the most important thing right now is how to solve the problem of doubt.

Just when Lu Liang was wondering how to deal with this matter, the system interface appeared in front of Lu Liang.

"Ding! The temporary mission has been triggered!"

"Task content: Ensure that new drugs are put on the market normally!"

"Driven by enough interests, there will always be people who will risk their academic careers. Faced with slander and slander, the best way is to fight back with the iron fist of facts."

"Time countdown: 15 days."

"Task rewards: Rewards will be given based on scores."

task?

Lu Liang was somewhat surprised when he saw the task given by the system.

This was the first time he encountered this situation.However, the system tasks have been triggered. Although they are only temporary tasks, this is enough to illustrate the seriousness of the situation.

And the time limit given is 15 days. Within these 15 days, he needs to shut up all those who question the new drug.

Time is tight, the task is heavy, and things must be resolved as soon as possible.

Lu Liang clarified his thoughts.

First of all, one thing is certain, that is, Lu Liang is sure that there are no problems with his papers and drugs. Lu Liang knows this better than anyone else.

Therefore, the person with the problem must be the other party!

Thinking of this, Lu Liang opened the arXiv website, ready to see how the paper was written.

Lu Liang entered the two keywords hemophilia and Shuyoulile in the search bar to search.

With these two keywords, the search scope suddenly becomes very small, and there are not many studies that match these two keywords.

Soon, a paper appeared on Lu Liang's computer screen.

When he saw the title of the paper, Lu Liang couldn't help but squint his eyes. He was now sure that this paper was the culprit that triggered public opinion.

The title of the paper is: "Shuyoulile has no therapeutic effect on hemophilia model mice"

Lu Liang was not in a hurry to read the paper, but focused on the first author of the paper.

Aamir ji.

Good guy, the smell of curry rushed towards him, which made Lu Liang frown. He was now more convinced that the problem lay with the other party.

After all, it is not just once or twice that problems arise for Indian scholars.

The paper was published by Aalborg University.

There is nothing wrong with the thesis unit.

Lu Liang opened the paper and began to read the entire paper carefully.

After reading through the entire paper, Lu Liang couldn't help but frown.

The test method of the paper is correct, and the entire test cycle is also correct.

The data and charts all look normal, and there are no traces of data anomalies or chart PS.

The other party even used 24 mice in each group to prove the reliability of their experimental data.

Judging from the test results in the opponent's paper, the data of the control group and the experimental group did not change much, and the most critical indicator, partial thromboplastin time, did not decrease.

In other words, after the other party injected the hemophilia mouse model with Sulfuretide, the mouse's hemophilia was not treated, and the mice continued to bleed.

This cannot be said to be exactly the same as the conclusions and data that Lu Liang came up with in the experiment. It can only be said to be completely opposite.

So where is the problem?
Just when Lu Liang felt puzzled, Cheng Ming came over and said, "Are you still reading the paper?"

"Otherwise, we have to find out what his problem is." Lu Liang curled his lips and said.

"Have you found it?"

Cheng Ming asked curiously.

Lu Liang sighed: "Judging from the current situation, there are no major problems found in the data and charts of his paper."

Cheng Ming nodded suddenly: "Is it possible that he made a mistake elsewhere, such as the test method?"

Because most of the fraud is almost concentrated on the test results, more people will find problems in the test results.

Cheng Ming's words seemed to wake up Lu Liang. Since there were no problems with the test results, was there something wrong with the test method or other aspects?

After getting this idea, Lu Liang read the entire paper from the beginning again.

This time he looked more carefully, not missing every letter, and pondering each word one by one.

From the abstract, background, review, to experimental methods and materials of the paper.

Especially in terms of materials, Lu Liang did not miss a word.

There is no problem with the monoclonal antibody drug, there is no problem with the detection kit, there is no problem with the detection method, and there is no problem with the test mice.
Well, test mice!

When he saw the mice used by the other party in the experiment, Lu Liang paused and then narrowed his eyes slightly.

The mice used in the other party's paper were C11BL/57J mice with the F6 gene knocked out.

But the mice he used in previous experiments were hemophilia model mice with the F8 gene knocked out.

Something's wrong with this experimental mouse!
Because in the entire paper, the other party only mentioned it once in the test materials, and never mentioned it again later.

Therefore, Lu Liang didn't notice this at all when he read the paper for the first time.

If Cheng Ming hadn't reminded him to go back and check again, he might not have been able to find this subtle difference.

Lu Liang opened the browser and began to search for the mouse model of hemophilia corresponding to the mouse with the F11 gene knocked out.

Soon, the results appeared on Lu Liang's computer screen. Knocking out the F11 gene would cause mice to lack coagulation factor XI and fall into the category of hemophilia C.

The moment he saw this result, Lu Liang almost cursed.

Okay, okay, you want to play like this, right?
Even in a certain sense, the other party's behavior can be regarded as fraud.

Among hemophilias, hemophilia A and B account for 99%, and hemophilia C accounts for less than 1%.

The most important thing is that the genetic mechanisms of hemophilia C are different. Even the International Health Organization is considering whether to remove hemophilia C from the category of hemophilia.

Now the other party is using these 1% special cases to question their own fraud.

This is equivalent to holding an iron key to open a fingerprint lock. When you find that it cannot be opened, you start to hype that the key is fake!
Isn't this bullshit?
Why don't you try to be more secretive? Are you so open and aboveboard?

At this glance, you can tell that this is a first-time offender and he has no experience!
Lu Liang now finally understood why the other party did not publish the paper in those magazines, but directly posted it on the arXiv website.

Because if this paper is sent to a journal, it will definitely be rejected during the review process.

There was no possibility of publication at all, so the other party uploaded the paper to the arXiv website, which does not require review.

Now that the problem has been found, here's what Lu Liang needs to do next.

Not only did he want to prove that his thesis was correct, but he also wanted to fight back against the other party!
Lu Liang began to plan how to deal with this matter.

First of all, this matter cannot be solved by publishing a paper.

After all, after completing the experiment, testing the samples, writing the paper, and finally publishing the paper, the day lily has already cooled down.

By then, the matter of fraud has been imprinted in everyone's mind, and who cares if there is any reversal in the end.

The solution is also very simple. If the other party likes to upload papers to the arXiv website, then he will also upload his own data to the arXiv website!
Here I have to mention another advantage of arXiv. Many scientific researchers update their research progress on arXiv every day.

It allows colleagues to observe the progress of scientific research in real time and facilitates communication among peers.

What Lu Liang has to do now is to repay the other person with his own methods.

Disclose your experiments on the arXiv website every day so that more people can see them.

After you have a plan, you should think about how you can prove that the other party's experiments are fraudulent.

After all, words are unfounded, data is the best proof.

Lu Liang was thinking about the next experimental design, and the phone rang at this moment, interrupting Lu Liang's thoughts.

Lu Liang glanced at it and found that the call was from Ji Hong.

After answering Ji Hong's call, Ji Hong's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone, and he was obviously very anxious now.

"Hey, Xiao Lu, have you seen the news on the Internet?" Ji Hong asked immediately after Lu Liang answered the phone.

"I saw it, teacher." Lu Liang replied.

"That's it, Xiao Lu, we are going to add a batch of experimental data to improve the paper and prove that our paper and data are true and reliable!"

After listening to Ji Hong's words, Lu Liang frowned: "Isn't it very passive to do this?"

Ji Hong sighed and said, "There is nothing we can do about this. Do you have any other ideas, Xiao Lu?"

"Yes, I have."

Lu Liang's answer made Ji Hong stunned.

He just asked casually, but he didn't expect that Lu Liang actually had a solution.

"No, Xiao Lu, this matter is no joke. Is there any way you can solve it?" Ji Hong asked immediately after coming back to his senses.

"It's very simple, teacher. We can be sure that there are no problems in our own paper. Then we just need to find the problems in the other party's paper."

After listening to Lu Liang's method, Ji Hong smiled bitterly: "How can it be so easy to find!"

Didn't he know that as long as he could find the problems in the other party's paper, all problems could be easily solved.

But the problem is, it is never so easy to find the problem.

Although Ji Hong hasn't read the other party's paper yet, he has heard that the first unit of the paper is Aalborg University, one of the top universities in Northern Europe.

If the other party really falsifies the information through falsified data, PS, etc., the probability of finding it out is extremely slim.

This is why academic circles have always hated academic fraud.

"Oh, teacher, I've found it, and I'm going to prove that the other party is lying!"

"Well, you found it?!"

Ji Hong's surprised voice sounded on the other end of the phone. Because he was so surprised, Ji Hong's tone couldn't help but rise by two points.

"Well, I found it, teacher. I won't say any more. I have to find someone to help with the experiment now."

"Oh, okay, then go quickly."

After hanging up the phone, Ji Hong not only grinned, but was it too fast?

You know, he hasn't even had time to read the other party's paper.

But in any case, it is a good thing if you can find problems with the other party's paper.

Ji Hong took a deep breath, then opened the door of the conference room and walked in.

At this moment, everyone in the conference room was still talking, but after seeing Ji Hong walk in, everyone became quiet and looked at Ji Hong.

"Teacher Ji, what did classmate Lu Liang say?"

Finally, the principal asked.

Ji Hong replied: "I just called and asked, Xiao Lu said that he was ready to prove that the other party's paper was fake."

Lu Liang's decision caused everyone present to be in an uproar.

Even the principal looked a little embarrassed: "I'm afraid this won't be proven in a while, right?"

Everyone also nodded, and one of them even said: "Yes, it will take a long time just to find the problems in the other party's paper."

Ji Hong coughed dryly: "Don't worry about this, Xiao Lu said that he has found the problem in the other party's paper."

As Ji Hong's words fell.

At that moment, there was dead silence in the entire conference room!
Everyone seemed to be choked by an invisible big hand and could not speak at this moment, but the shock on their faces seemed to explain everything.

 Since it was difficult to separate the chapters, I put them together.

  In addition, thank you to the split rat rat for the 1000 starting coin reward!
  Thanks to the divided squirrel! ! !
  Ratty atmosphere! !
