Retraction Watch reports Cambridge Structural Database contains possibly fraudulent data

Retraction Watch reports that the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre’s (CCDC) database of small crystal structures, Cambridge Structural Database, has identified almost 1,000 structures that were found to be associated with papers generated by a “paper mill”. The identified structures now contain a notification that they are under review. Twelve of the structures have been retracted so far, as well as nine papers. For more information, see the full article in Retraction Watch.
