"Why Retractions Matter": A conversation with our Ivan Oransky. youtube.com/watch?v=9bt4Fp…

@CharlesCMann It is indeed a wild story! A note on my @RetractionWatch article, though - the journal issued *corrections* on the case studies to label them as fictional, it didn't retract them.

Fallout continues from one of the most appalling cases of scientific misconduct I've come across: journal retracts 138(!) case studies as fictional. retractionwatch.com/2026/03/03/can… New Yorker article that set off the current furor: newyorker.com/magazine/2026/…

@mattadler81 Pot roast here!

What’s everyone cooking tomorrow??

Retraction guidelines updates: * batch retractions * communicating with authors * purpose of retraction * editor’s decision to retract * aligning with NEW expressions of concern guidelines publicationethics.org/guidance/guide… #Scholcomms #RetractionGuideline

Yesterday at @peerrevcongress there were a few calls for @C0PE to revise its retraction guidelines. They did, released today. Read about the changes at @RetractionWatch: retractionwatch.com/2025/09/04/new…

Once upon a time, two science journalists had an idea for a blog about retractions. And on Aug. 3, 2010, Retraction Watch launched. Fifteen years and 6,700 posts later, that work seems more important than ever. Happy 15th anniversary, Retraction Watch. retractionwatch.com/2025/08/01/hap…

The fakery behind a study on canvassing to change minds about gay marriage came to light 10 years ago thanks to two then-graduate students. I caught up with them to see what has -- and hasn't -- changed in the last decade. My latest for @RetractionWatch retractionwatch.com/2025/06/06/sam…

@HHS_ORI released its first misconduct finding of the year. My latest for @RetractionWatch .

Why do nearly 45,000 scholarly papers cite themselves? @DalmeetS finds out retractionwatch.com/2025/03/19/pap…

Today's moment of joy came from @AveryOrrall 's original headline for this story, which sadly did not make the cut: Mistake-fin identity: Correction issued for paper that confused shark species 🦈🤣 retractionwatch.com/2025/01/17/big…
