Wordcloud around the concept of 'Misconduct'

We recommend listening to this interview, even with the squirrel fight at the start

Chris and Jonathan interview Dr Ivan Oransky, the co-founder of Retraction Watch which tracks retractions of scientific papers. They discuss how papers get published, how they get retracted, and what a better system might look like.

1:29 How scientific papers get published
3:44 Journals are businesses with a bizarre business model
13:52 No more COVID-related retractions than expected
17:10 Science by press release in part to prevent insider trading
20:04 Jade amulets against COVID-19
26:33 Zombie papers
30:43 A dramatic increase in retractions but they are still rare
36:50 Why are mistakes caught after publication?
42:20 Going to science heaven
