Message: <blockquote data-quote="Klaas van Dijk" data-source="post: 3437841" data-attributes="member: 115771">Dear all,The two faulty papers on the Basra Reed Warbler Acrocephalus griseldis in the Taylor & Francis journal ZME (Al-Sheikhly et al. 2013, 2015) are still not retracted. There is also not yet a follow-up on our emails of 15 July 2016 and 29 July 2016 to Ms Deborah Kahn, the publishing director STM journals. Several auto-replies from members of the staff of publisher Taylor & Francis show that both emails were received in good order. This non-response is worrisome. Please distribute widely to others the contents of this thread and please don't hesitiate to contact Ms Kahn ( deborah.kahn AT tandf.co.uk ) when you share the opinion of a large bunch of concerned ornithologists, birdwatchers and conservationalists that Al-Sheikhly et al. (2013, 2015) contain fabricated and/or falsified data and that both papers therefore must be retracted (= eradicated from the body of scientific knowledge) immediately.Please don't hesitate to contact me when you have queries and/or when you would like to get more background information. KlaasPS: See below for a slightly redacted version of our email of 29 July 2016.</blockquote>
