Page "Scientific misconduct" Paragraph 21

Three percent of the 3, 475 research institutions that report to the US Department of Health and Human Services ' Office of Research Integrity, indicate some form of scientific misconduct.

However the ORI will only investigate allegations of impropriety where research was funded by federal grants.

They routinely monitor such research publication for red flags.

Other private organizations like the Committee of Medical Journal Editors ( COJE ) can only police their own members.
