"Elisabeth Bik is among the most famous of numerous independent researchers currently engaged in hunting out and exposing academic fraud. A native of Holland with a PhD in microbiology, Bik was working in the biomedical field when, in 2013, she discovered one of her own research papers had been plagiarized by another researcher. This led her to pursue scientific sleuthing as a hobby; in 2019 she quit her job to hunt out academic fraud full-time. Since 2014 Bik has analyzed more than 100,000 papers and found signs of dishonesty in 6,500 of them. Her work has resulted in 1,074 corrections to published research – and 1,331 retractions. Last year, the Berlin-based Einstein Foundation awarded Bik the 2024 Quality in Research Award, along with a $375,000 cash prize."
