There's a correlation between sexual #misconduct accusations and a drop in citations for the scholars accused, while that's not the case for fraudsters. In both cases there is a drop in publications, and the puzzling thing is that - looking at the raw data in the original paper doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0 - the trend seems to begin before the accusations emerge. It raises the question of in which direction does the causality go.
