Message: <blockquote data-quote="Klaas van Dijk" data-source="post: 3656275" data-attributes="member: 115771">The fraudulent study on the breeding biology of the Basra Reed Warbler in a Taylor & Francis journal is still not retracted. Communicating about this issue with stakeholders and with contacts of these stakeholders (etc.) is still tough / impossible. The comment by Richard Porter et al. (2015) at <a href="http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/09397140.2015.1023424" target="_blank">http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/09397140.2015.1023424</a> still attracts new readers with at the moment 2738 views. Also <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/project/Retracting-fraudulent-articles-on-the-breeding-biology-of-the-Basra-Reed-Warbler-Acrocephalus-griseldis" target="_blank">https://www.researchgate.net/project/Retracting-fraudulent-articles-on-the-breeding-biology-of-the-Basra-Reed-Warbler-Acrocephalus-griseldis</a> (at the moment 785 views) and <a href="https://www.academia.edu/33827046" target="_blank">https://www.academia.edu/33827046</a> (at the moment 289 views, also published as <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/318340512" target="_blank">https://www.researchgate.net/publication/318340512</a> ), attract lots of readers. Until now no one has informed me that there are errors and/or mistakes in <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/project/Retracting-fraudulent-articles-on-the-breeding-biology-of-the-Basra-Reed-Warbler-Acrocephalus-griseldis" target="_blank">https://www.researchgate.net/project/Retracting-fraudulent-articles-on-the-breeding-biology-of-the-Basra-Reed-Warbler-Acrocephalus-griseldis</a> and/or in <a href="https://www.academia.edu/33827046" target="_blank">https://www.academia.edu/33827046</a> (also published as <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/318340512" target="_blank">https://www.researchgate.net/publication/318340512</a>). It seems therefore reasonable to argue that there are no errors and/or mistakes in the texts of any of these urls.</blockquote>
