Removing poorly sourced accusation in the lead
[edit]The lead reads: "Griffiths has recently encountered criticisms on his publication record, with scholars raising a number of concerns including the lack of data sharing/transparency[1] and self-plagiarism found across a number of his papers.[2]"
Two citations are added in support. One goes to an online comment (!) on a paper abstract. The other goes to a personal blogspot blog. Both of those fail WP:SPS: "Never use self-published sources as third-party sources about living people, even if the author is an expert, well-known professional researcher, or writer" - so I'm deleting the material accordingly.

- Sorry, mixed up my MOS references. They fail WP:BLPSPS - which is even more emphatic: "Never use self-published sources—including but not limited to books, zines, websites, blogs, and social network posts—as sources of material about a living person, unless written or published by the subject of the article."
