Misconduct, Not Error, Is the Main Cause of Scientific Retractions

I think that the article implicitly misrepresents the level of misconduct by leaving out some relevant statistics.... More than 2,000 scientific articles, retracted! And... fraud!... plagiarism!

In context -- PubMed has more than 22 million documents and accepts 500,000 a year, according to Wikipedia.

So, to do the math: Number of fraudulent articles, total, = vanishingly small percentage of the total articles.
