Authorships for sale, peer review rings and paper mills: In this investigative report I dive into how the Indian academia is paying it's way into Scopus journals through fixers on social media, compromised editors and ghost writers. @ThePrintIndia

I have been writing articles decoding the science behind the virus for more than a year now, and my parents are still leaving the vegetables out in the balcony to de-sanitise them.

Forget the possibilities of death due to the vaccine, we don't even have reliable data on how many people actually died due to Covid in India. We instead have propaganda films demeaning journalists and scientists who were trying to ask these questions.

As many as 80 research papers by DRDO scientists -- some dating back to over 10 years -- have been flagged for alleged image manipulation. DRDO officials say they are looking into the concerns raised. I report for ThePrint.
