Yes, if more than 1/3rd of the scientists submitting papers are Americans, than American scientists are guilty of fraud LESS OFTEN (per person) than scientists who are not American.
Having been involved in science for awhile now, it is perfectly reasonable to assume that over 1/3rd of all work being done in science is being done by an American scientist.
Quite right. I’m also bothered by anti-intellectualism always evident in science bashing. If folks don’t know anything about science, they should refrain from commenting. I don’t tell my mechanic how to fix a car, I don’t tell my doctor what drugs she should prescribe, and don’t tell my tailor how to make a suit - why does everyone feel free to tell me how to do science?
Wow, did you break you leg on that one?
Before you illustrate your mental acumen perhaps you should do a quick Google of the poster.
Where is the data to back up your assertions?
Not that I expect a competent numerical analysis form you......
Well, before calling people names why don't you check the facts.

"The results of this study show unequivocally that scientists in the USA are responsible for more retracted papers than any other country (table 3). These results suggest that American scientists are significantly more prone to engage in data fabrication or falsification than scientists from other countries. There was no evidence to support a contention that papers submitted from China or other Asian nations and indexed in PubMed are more likely to be fraudulent.6 China, despite several recent high-profile fraud cases,7 8 did not commit a disproportionate share of research fraud. Chinese scientists published 11.5% of all scientific papers6 and accounted for 11.3% of retractions in the world literature (table 3).
Don't like the news? Blame the study not the person that reports about it if that person accurately portrays the study.
