Double down? Repeatedly? I posted a link to an article with its headline, and only later, when rebutting a comment that implied the article was about something "completely different", I mention that the article is about the Oskvold study and its finding of duplication in 25% of papers. The paper did in fact establish that number (unless you want to quibble about 24% vs. 25%).

Yes, the ArsTechnica headline is poorly written, and not supported by the content of the article, because not all instances of duplication are fraud, but we can clarify that issue by quoting the article itself: "... the fact that it's closer to one in eight should still be troubling."
