For anyone interested in or sceptical about peer-review, this blog is a really interesting read (via Retraction Watch weekend reads). Spoiler: he thinks peer-review is a failed experiment and had a good experience with a pre-print experimentalhistory.substack.com/p/the-rise-and…

Last month Retraction Watch published our post (thanks Ivan) describing how an editor has been trying for >2y to get their publisher to retract 11 papers. retractionwatch.com/2022/11/04/how… The longer version is here for anyone interested. reappraised.wordpress.com/2022/12/20/how… #ResearchIntegrity

The question you gotta ask yourself is “Do I feel lucky?” Well, do ya, punk? reappraised.wordpress.com/2023/01/31/the…

F1000's (past, ? present) approach to publication integrity concerns: publish paper, get reviews, concerns raised but no editors to oversee next steps. Result: paper still online, concerns unaddressed, results implausible #F1000Research #researchintegrity reappraised.wordpress.com/2023/01/31/the…

2 papers with incorrect analyses/results were corrected by The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology through letters, which are nearly invisible. The original papers/wrong results are still being spread. Is this misinformation/disinformation? Scholarly Kitchen posted our guest post: scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2023/08/31/gue…

Each year the BMJ does a Xmas edition. We submitted this a couple of years ago but it didn't make the cut, but thought it was still worth posting reappraised.wordpress.com/2023/12/12/xma… #vitaminD #olympics #athletes #BMJ #xmasedition

All the authors on the Retraction Watch leaderboard have >30 retractions. But what about their co-authors? What responsibility do they have for retracted papers? New post: Silence of the lambs... reappraised.wordpress.com/2024/05/06/the… #publicationintegrity #researchintegrity #retractions
