That may be true in the US, but China is a whole other story. They have plenty of money, but the system they have rewards cheaters. They have a long and storied history of making up data and plagiarizing reports. I have witnessed it firsthand. A colleague of mine published a paper a few years ago on a specific gene pathway in brain cancer. About a year or two later another paper came out that was the exact same as his, except that they changed the gene name. All the data, and most of the text were identical, except for the name change. Of course my colleague emailed the editor and the paper was removed. China's problem is far deeper than just limited money for an increasing number of researchers.The other part is that there are more and more scientists each year, with less funding which creates an increasingly competitive market. Where careers potentially live and die with funding from grants and other awards, faking data to continue research might not seem like the worst possibility to some people.
