First there were allegations of plagiarism, then accusations of dodgy data-gathering, not to mention other self-contradicting exaggerations about his academic achievements. The media organisation Retraction Watch keeps an eye on which papers are corrected or retracted, often due to unrepeatable results, investigations by universities or journals, data fabrication, or outright plagiarism. So, which British universities have had academic staff with the most paper retractions according to Retraction Watch? It’s a similar spread for the 92 known retracted papers involving Imperial academics: unreliable results (25), concerns about data (22), error in data (14). For more severe reasons, such as plagiarism, by the number of times they’re mentioned for each author in Retraction Watch’s data, it’s Oxford academics at the top.
