Hi David

I thought IP would find of interest the developments in South Korea where
the online community of scientists have uncovered scientific  fraud in
articles in the US scientific journal "Science"

South Korea leads the world in broadband access and the result has been
this significant event. Below are two articles that give more of the
details. Best wishes, Ronda
