Why You Need It:
Preparing manuscripts for publication is a meticulous process, with each publication having its unique requirements and procedures. Drafting manuscripts can be time-consuming, and there's no guarantee that the substantive part meets scientific quality criteria. This may lead to rejection or prolonged publication processes. To address these challenges, seeking professional assistance at the preliminary stage is crucial.

A dossier obtained by Science from whistleblowers suggests potential scientific misconduct related to a stroke drug and Alzheimer's research led by prominent neuroscientist Berislav Zlokovic at the University of Southern California (USC). The experimental drug, 3K3A-APC, aimed at limiting brain damage after strokes, had received substantial funding from the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) for a clinical trial. However, the dossier alleges manipulated data in support of the drug's efficacy and raises concerns about increased deaths and disability in the phase 2 trial.

Meteorologists call it the “quiet revolution”: a gradual but steady improvement in weather forecasting. Today, the 6-day forecast is about as good as the 3-day forecast from 30 years ago. Rarely do severe storms or heat waves catch people unaware. This revolution has saved lives and money, but it also comes with a cost: billions of dollars’ worth of energy-hungry supercomputers that must run 24/7 just to produce a few forecasts a day.

Elisabeth Bik did not start out her career as a vigilante. In fact, for many years, she was a microbiologist, studying human microbiomes. But then, one evening in the early 2010s, she was reading some papers and noticed something odd about the images in them. “Somebody had used the same photo twice to represent two different experiments,” she remembers.

As scientific breakthroughs go, the one announced last March by a team from the University of Rochester was especially eye-opening. Led by physicist/engineer Ranga P. Dias, they reported in an article in Nature the discovery of a room-temperature superconductor — a material that can conduct electricity with no loss of efficiency from friction and no production of heat.
