But they published papers about their misconduct... I don't know how they haven't been sanctioned already.

Replication is really a different problem. It's possible for you to do nothing wrong, run hundreds of trials, get a great result and publish it. But it was due to noise/error/unknown factors, and can't be replicated. The crisis is also that replication receives no academic recognition.

When people fabricate results they know it's an offence, the problem with these guys is they don't even acknowledge/understand the ethical rule they are breaking.
