8 (!!) years after the problems were put on Pubpeer this paper finally got retracted! 👇 It's just not ok how long it takes to get rid of bad/fake research! Publishers and @C0PE need to wake up. Too much power with the ones that wrote the papers. pubpeer.com/publications/7…

Australia just recorded zero cervical cancer cases in women under 25 - for the first time since records began in 1982. This is what happens when a country commits to HPV vaccination and screening. We protect our girls and save lives.

This paper seems to present very weak evidence that the authors use to try to show an associative relationship. When questioned about these tenuous connections, and contradictory references cited in the paper, the authors reply: “let’s do a podcast!?” This isn’t a cage match. 🤡

“pushing to retract” are big words - @Thatsregrettab1 asked some questions about the interpretation of the data, since only one autistic person was included, with confounding factors. Happy to discuss on PubPeer, rather than in a podcast.

Behind every insult might be low-confidence, bullying, and fear.


Four years! This crap should be retracted in four seconds.

After 4 years, the @WileyGlobal journal Macromolecular Symposia retracted this "paper." pubpeer.com/publications/C… h/t anon Hoya.

Back in New Zealand after two back-to-back conferences, for a couple of days of vacation at the Coromandel peninsula, before we head back home. Lovely bed and breakfast with amazing view.

Een zeer fijne bespreking in Trouw: "Sloppy Science is een verbijsterend boek over academische fraudeurs, rommelaars en charlatans. En over keiharde competitie, die wel tot wetenschappelijk wangedrag móét leiden." trouw.nl/boeken/de-onts…
