Textual evidence presented here proves that the construction of this so-called \u2018Ortega Hypothesis\u2019 with its anti-elitist meaning was based on falsification of the quoted text and misinterpretation of the doctrine of the eminent elitist Spanish philosopher. This anti-elitist, and hence anti-Ortega, false hypothesis spread very widely in the scientific literature as the \u2018Ortega Hypothesis\u2019. The literatures of numerous disciplines have so far accepted this falsely constructed hypothesis: the fact of the falsity of the \u2018Ortega Hypothesis\u2019 has not even arisen in the debates about it and under its name. Analysis of the literature case of the false \u2018Ortega Hypothesis\u2019 has also thrown light on the current depressing state of referencing practice in the scientific literature. Scientific communications of doubtful and even false content have continued to appear and their world-wide dissemination has accelerated. For this reason, correction work in science is more important than ever. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0165551504047823","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,12,3]],"date-time":"2004-12-03T11:37:58Z","timestamp":1102073878000},"page":"496-508","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["The false \u2018Ortega Hypothesis\u2019: a literature science case study"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Endre","family":"Sz\u00e1va-Kov\u00e1ts","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2004,12,1]]},"reference":[{"volume-title":"The revolt of the masses","year":"1932","author":"J.
