Retraction Watch

Retraction Watch is a blog started in August 2010 to track retractions in scientific publications by Adam Marcus and Ivan Oransky Read what people are saying about it.

Here is one comment: “Retractions and the risk of moral panic,” Kevin Smith writing in Scholarly Communications At Duke:

What I like about Retraction Watch is that it looks seriously at the different reasons for retractions and, when they are not clearly explained, as in this retraction from the journal Cell, tries to dig deeper to discover what the flaw actually was, or was perceived to be. This should be a model for our general reaction to retractions and the news that retracted articles continue to be cited.
