SPPS has issued an "expression of concern" about an article from 2015 because first author had two articles retracted and the PhD degree revoked bc of data fabrication. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/19485506241261712 As I see it, there is no direct evidence yet for data fabrication for the article under scrutiny.
Honest question: Is it justified to post an expression of concern? I see the that the odds of data fabrication are increasing for every other article by the author that is retracted. 1/ @academicchatter
I think it makes sense to alert readers to the heightened probability of fraud, so this „expression of concern“ (not a verdict yet) makes sense to me. Maybe they just should keep it as a warning sign. But the process seems to require a decision that either leads to a correction/retraction or a removal of the expression of concern.
