But does PLOS reimburse public institutions that paid APCs on behalf of fraudsters? Or do the fraudsters themselves reimburse the public institutions? Or ...

Screenshot of PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases Retraction: Coxiella burnetii in Humans and Ticks in Rural Senegal The PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases Editors Published: April 9, 2026 https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pntd.0014195 The PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases Editors retract this article [1,2] due to concerns about compliance with the PLOS Human Subjects Research policy. The Materials and Methods section in [1] reports that the study involved blood samples collected in 2008 and breast milk samples collected in 2009, as well as saliva and stool samples (collection period not reported). The ethics approval statement reported in this article states that the project was approved by the National Ethics Committee of Senegal and Local Ethics Committee (Marseille, France), but does not report approval reference numbers.

Following the publication of the article and Expression of Concern [1,2], PLOS investigated concerns pertaining to the reported ethical approval and the article’s adherence to PLOS One’s research ethics policies. Specifically, concerns were raised that the study involved human participants but the article did not report Comité de Protection des Personnes (CPP) ethics approval, and the ethics approval number N°:2020–0012 cited in [1] was also reported in [3] despite apparent differences in the reported study period and sample sizes.
Screenshot of PLoS One Retraction: Eukaryote Culturomics of the Gut Reveals New Species The PLOS One Editors Published: April 6, 2026 https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0346536 The PLOS One Editors retract this article [1,2] due to concerns about compliance with the PLOS Human Subjects Research policy. The Materials and Methods section in [1,2] reports sampling of stool specimens from individuals from Polynesia, Amazonia, Senegal, and India, but the article does not clarify when these samples were collected. The ethics approval reported in the article refers to agreement #09–022 issued by the Ethics Committee of the Institut Fédératif de Recherche 48 (IFR48), Marseilles, France. The article does not report prospective, local ethics approval from institutions or agencies in Polynesia, Amazonia, Senegal, or India. Furthermore, PLOS noted that the ethics approval number #09–022 was also reported in at least 247 other studies despite apparent differences in the aims and objectives, study locations, study populations, age ranges, methodologies, types of samples collected, and types of consent described in these studies. S1 File contains a summary of articles citing ethics approval number #09–022 of which PLOS is aware.
Screenshot of PLoS One Retraction: Molecular detection of eukaryotes in a single human stool sample from Senegal The PLOS One Editors Published: April 7, 2026 https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0346619 The PLOS One Editors retract this article [1,2] due to concerns about compliance with the PLOS Human Subjects Research policy. The Abstract and the Materials and Methods section in [1] report that the study involved stool samples obtained from a volunteer in Senegal. The ethics approval statement reported in this article states that both this study and the assent procedure were approved by the National Ethics Committee of Senegal (CNERS) and the Ethics Committee of the Institut Fédératif de Recherche IFR 48, Faculty of Medecine, Marseille, France (agreement number N° 09–022). PLOS notes that agreement number N° 09–022 was also reported in at least 247 other studies despite apparent differences in the aims and objectives, study locations, study populations, age ranges, methodologies, types of samples collected, and types of consent described in these studies. S1 File contains a summary of articles citing ethics approval number N° 09–022 of which PLOS is aware.
New batch of retractions from @plos.org journals for Didier Raoult and his team for ethics concerns, including more 'helicopter' studies in the #Senegal villages of Dielmo and Diop
Retractions count now 5️⃣0️⃣ (I think)🎂

À Lyon, le #OneHealthSummit a rappelé une évidence : notre santé dépend de celle des écosystèmes.
Mais derrière les discours ambitieux, la réalité est autre :
❌ Reculs réglementaires
❌ Exposition aux substances toxiques
❌ Fragilisation de l’expertise publique
Il faut désormais des actes concrets ⤵️
🙋De 2022 à 2024, deux personnes courtières de connaissances ont œuvré à l'Agence régionale de santé Île-de-France.
Un article récemment paru se penche sur l'évaluation à mi-parcours de cette intervention de courtage de connaissances.

Picture from Lyon on a meeting re "the future" of Global Health governance. Once again, you wonder where the youngsters are. Presumably, it'll be a future without young people.
il faut soi-même avoir des assises solides et/ou ne plus craindre pour sa carrière. Un·e chercheur·euse précaire qui ferait de même ne trouvera plus jamais de poste. Que les critiques soient légitimes et fondées ou non. De là à dire que des chercheur·euse·s précaires se censurent...

Petit fil plagiat 🧶
Comme certains le savent, je travaille sur une grande enquête - très chronophage - sur le plagiat.
Dans le 1er volet de cette enquête, je vais revenir sur les plagiats massifs découverts chez Etienne Klein entre 1991 et 2025 (+ de 100 auteurs plagiés)
J'ai achevé ce matin...
