      To be fair though, even if you read the abstracts of papers you need to go in and check the actual data itself to confirm what the authors describe is actually there.

      Likewise if a paper cites another study in support and it seems weird what they say, you need to go and check that paper too.

      Scientists have been inflating their claims as long as the impact factor exists (and probably longer). This now just makes it even easier to receive lies.
