Horrifying: as Robert McKie reports, faked scientific research papers are becoming more and more common in academic journals, such that last year, journals had to retract more than 10,000 of them, a record number.

The problem began especially in China, where young doctors and scientists seeking promotion are required to have published scientific papers.
