background: this study was done to determine the prevalence of publication misconduct among iranian authors. methods: data were collected through an email survey of corresponding authors of papers published in iranian journals indexed in scopus during 2009-2011. using the double list experiment, these individuals were indirectly questioned about committing one of the five misconducts including ...

Due to the inherent sensitivity of many survey questions, a number of researchers have adopted an indirect questioning technique known as the list experiment (or the item count technique) in order to minimize bias due to dishonest or evasive responses. However, standard practice with the list experiment requires a large sample size, is not readily adaptable to regression or multivariate modelin...

We strengthen the notion of double samplers, first introduced by Dinur and Kaufman [``High dimensional expanders imply agreement expanders,” in Proc. 58th IEEE Symp. on Foundations Comp. Science, IEEE, 2017, pp. 974--985], which are samplers with additional combinatorial properties, whose existence we prove using high-dimensional expanders. The ABNNR code construction [N. Alon et al., Trans. In...
