Abstract

In this paper, we present some striking facts learned from a random subsampling of the global database of retracted academic papers, which have not been reported before and not discussed in the recent (famous) paper in Science by Brainard and You (Science 2019, doi:10.1126/science.aav8384). Our views then proceed to advocate several practical, and imperative, changes that can improve academic publishing, considering these insights, in line with Magdalena Skipper’s key missions in advocating open science and addressing the reproducibility crisis (Else, Nature 2018; doi: 10.1038/d41586-018-05060-w).

Keywords: scientific publishing, retraction, research integrity
