Elisabeth Bik interview

What do you think should be done to combat the issue of fraudulent images?

Journals should check images before publication.

Journals should act on concerns to issue retraction, corrections or expressions of concern.

Readers should raise concerns with journals/on relevant websites.

Authors should check their own images for honest errors.

More funding for reproducibility studies.

Countries/institutions should review the use of mandatory publication policies to reduce pressure on researchers to publish or perish.
