There are two kinds of people, the kind who'll read this and think, "This is science working", and others who'll think "Well, you can't trust science".

Hmm. So is it actually the number of fraudullent papers that's up, or is it the number of frauds that get caught?

Probably both considering that many people need these studies to return results to continue getting funded. At the same time, more academics than ever are excited about uncovering fraudulent work (imo).

Its probably more to do with the emergence of LLMs and the growth in inequality. For what you said to be true would imply scientific journals are working harder, which is hard to imagine.

Science and technology are developed to serve hegemony, not humanity, not even the researchers themselves.
These workers are just trying to survive under a brutal capitalist regime like anybody else.
