Recently the Online Think Tank took up this issue of the future or white papers and scientific research papers and the fraud the goes on. From Global Warming Claims to breakthrough medical discoveries we see abuse. There have been issues with cloning, scientific discovery and commercial advertising and promotions. Another thought on the white paper abuses? One thinker tanker mentioned;
"I have been seeing "Sales Brochures" come from my "white paper" searches and alert services now for about 3-4 years and it is getting worse. One recent article I read suggested that the Internet might eliminate "white papers" which bothers me, because it means all my Grandfathers white papers (70) will become irrelevant, but that information is very important to even today's sciences, as I see people still cite his work."
Additionally, the Drug Industry "Big Pharma" is abusing the scientific research domain and peer review system like the IT Type technology companies abuse use of white papers. These are of course huge issues, as Grandma is on drugs and 17% of the population is taking Prozac or make me feel good drugs. While the tax payers are picking up the tab. On the abusive use of white papers as sales brochures one has to ask if they can even be taken seriously any more?
If something is not done the ethical nature of research will be worth nothing. I certainly hope this article is of interest and that is has propelled thought. The goal is simple; to help you in your quest to be the best in 2007. I thank you for reading my many articles on diverse subjects, which interest you.
