    • Systematic violations of scientific working methods observed in publications.

    Purpose:

    • To analyze the adherence to scientific principles in medical research at German universities.
    • To provide recommendations for the responsible investigation of unconventional medical methods.

    Summary:

    • Evidence suggests systematic deviations from scientific standards in some German medical faculties.
    • Critically evaluating outsider methods is necessary without halting research into all unconventional medicine.
    • Prioritizing research into unconventional methods with plausible theories and positive initial outcomes is recommended due to resource limitations.

    Impact:

    • Promoting scientific integrity in medical research.
    • Guiding future research funding and prioritization for unconventional medical treatments.
    • Ensuring evidence-based practices in medicine.
