Cherry picking can be especially problematic in catalysis research for several reasons:
1. Misleading Results: By only presenting data that supports a hypothesis, researchers can create an inaccurate portrayal of a catalyst's performance. 2. Reproducibility Issues: Other researchers may find it difficult to replicate results if they do not have access to all the data. 3. Ethical Concerns: Selective reporting can be seen as unethical, as it misleads the scientific community and stakeholders about the true efficacy of a catalyst.
