Kreiner and Amelia Natz-Gonzalez, Journal of General Psychology, vol. 136, no. 3, 2009, pp. 287–300. In this 2009 study: "Previous research has shown that preexisting inappropriate highlighting of text could impair reading comprehension.

What's the future of peer review? Bad peer review processes are finally catching up with the scientific research industry; recent high profile cases of scientific misconduct have rocked the boat--big time! Scrambling to cope: journals, medical schools, the pharmaceutical and biotech industries, academic hospitals, scientific researchers... And the big question: Why isn't scientific fraud criminally prosecuted, like any other white collar crime?

in reference to:

"criminal"
- What is the future of peer review? Why is there fraud in science? Is plagiarism out of control? Why do scientists do bad things? Is it all a case of:“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing?” (view on Google Sidewiki)
