Re: [sdpd] Re: RIET: Acta E editorial on fraudulently submitted crystal structures

I would simply not worry about this, but on the reason why people become 
defrauders: recognition, employability, impact factor ? as far as our 
institutions will stay looking at such nonsenses to evaluate peoples, 
cheating will last long.

or

cite each just older in your new fraudulous structure, you will reach 
automatically 165519 new citations, what a boost !

answer of the year: synthesize it !
