Message: <blockquote data-quote="Klaas van Dijk" data-source="post: 3638878" data-attributes="member: 115771">The herculean efforts to get retracted the fraudulent study on the breeding biology of the Basra Reed Warbler are until now unsuccessful. One of the outcomes is the publication on 2 November 2017 of a paper in the journal “Roars Transactions, a Journal on Research Policy and Evaluation” with the title “Is partial behaviour a plausible explanation for the unavailability of the ICMJE disclosure form of an author in a BMJ journal?” See <a href="https://riviste.unimi.it/index.php/roars/article/view/9073" target="_blank">https://riviste.unimi.it/index.php/roars/article/view/9073</a> The paper is open access and descibes my efforts to get a copy of the ICMJE disclosure form of a paper authored by Dr. Elizabeth Moylan, a member of the council of COPE.The paper is published in the section ‘Discussion Notes’. The editors of “Roars Transactions, a Journal on Research Policy and Evaluation” are encouraging readers to submit comments / responses. These comments / responses will be published alongside the paper. I have informed this morning publisher BMJ <a href="http://www.bmj.com/" target="_blank">http://www.bmj.com/</a> about the publication of this new paper and I have invited BMJ to submit comments / responses.</blockquote>
