More than double that. "Science" is paid for through grants that pretty much require a desired outcome or the money gets cut off.
Liars figure and figures lie!
So easy to manipulate numbers into telling your story

And I bet if you look I to the political leanings of the offending authors, the majority would be libs. Think about it.
Since academics are most likely to publish anything, that's sort of without question. Correlation without proof that political affiliation is the cause of the fraud and not some other factor like being pressured to publish or lose one's career. Personally, I think most of it is just shameless narcissism and the desire to advance oneself. People are willing to lie and take credit for other people's work, or just flat out make crap up to satisfy their own theories about the world (confirmation bias, weaponized).
As far as the political element, the RINOs and the corruption of the Church (Catholic, Lutheran, Episcopal, you name it) should be a crystal clear example of how corruption is not at all confined to the Left. All of us are subject to the temptation.
You've got a good thought process. Thanks for the insight. Maybe next time I open my mouth I won't be so heck bent on tossing the political element into the mix, first.

Peer review baby, Peer review....., is the evaluation of work by one or more people with similar competencies as the producers of the work (peers). It functions as a form of self-regulation by qualified members of a profession within the relevant field. They off themselves!
but, 'muh peer reviewed ...'
