how many percentage of published articles can be fake?

It's a long-standing and crucial question that, as yet, it is important to answer: just how common is scientific misconduct? Do you know any researchers around your work who are fabricating data, images, etc.. for producing fake publications?
In the online, open-access journal PLoS ONE, Daniele Fanelli of the University of Edinburgh reports the first meta-analysis of surveys questioning scientists about their misbehaviours. The results suggest that altering or making up data is more frequent than previously estimated and might be particularly high in medical research.
