🧵The history of this 2002 nature paper shows how delayed retractions create an edifice of bad citations nature.com/articles/s4158… 2007: Integrity of the work questioned by Eugenie Reich and I 2019: Elisabeth Bik finds manipulated images 2024: Retracted, with 4,482 citations

More than 50% of high-profile scientific findings cannot be independently reproduced by other scientists. Lab research is the worst, with irreproducibility for top publications reaching nearly 90%. This is a waste of more than $28,000,000,000 from taxpayers in America alone.
