🚨We’ve discovered that one of our research papers was almost completely copied and published under other authors’ names. The article claims to be a study from Prince of Songkla University, uses the same ethics approval number as ours, and even thanks our statistician in the acknowledgements. It lists a 2024 publication date but cites 2025 papers, raising serious concerns about the reliability of the dates and the credibility of the journal. 🧐 We’ve contacted the journal that published our genuine article and received initial guidance, but would welcome any advice from others with experience of similar misconduct. 🙏 ✅Genuine article (Palliative Care & Social Practice): doi.org/10.1177/263235242514… ❌Problematic paper: journalinpc.com/article/brid…

Systematic review asks: What works? Scoping review asks: What exists? Many researchers confuse the two! --------------------------------------- Learn in more detail in this live accredited workshop: 🔗 systematicreview.razia-alian… ---------------------------------------- Here's when a scoping review makes sense: — You're exploring an emerging area — You want to identify what research methods people are using — You need to clarify how a concept is being defined — You want to spot where the research gaps are Stick with systematic reviews when: — You have a focused question — You need to inform policy or practice decisions — You want to compare interventions — Critical appraisal matters for your question --- 1/6
