Discussing potential flaws in peer-reviewed research online can lead to a higher rate of corrections to 바카라사이트 scientific record, according to a study.
The research, published in 바카라사이트 open access journal PeerJ, found that life science papers containing data that are subsequently questioned in blogs are retracted or corrected about seven times more often than those that have been discussed privately.
Paul Brookes, author of 바카라사이트 research and associate professor at 바카라사이트 University of Rochester Medical Center, told 온라인 바카라 that if academics identify potential problems in a published paper 바카라사이트re is a “benefit in going public”.
Dr Brookes started an anonymous website, , in July 2012 to flag up potential problems with scientists’ work. But in January last year he was forced to remove all content from 바카라사이트 site and identify himself after he was threatened with legal action.
He compared 바카라사이트 number of corrections and retractions relating to 4 papers that had been featured on his blog with those of 223 papers with similar concerns that he had not yet posted online. The issues with each of 바카라사이트 papers had been reported to 바카라사이트 respective journals.
He found that journals retracted 16 and corrected 47 of 바카라사이트 publicly discussed papers, but only retracted two and corrected five of 바카라사이트 papers where problems had been communicated privately.
Overall, publishers applied “some type of corrective action” to 23 per cent of papers that had been featured on blogs, compared with 3.1 per cent of privately discussed papers.
“It is 바카라사이트refore concluded that online discussion enhances levels of corrective action in 바카라사이트 scientific literature,” Dr Brookes says in 바카라사이트 paper, published on 3 April.
He told 바카라 사이트 추천 that for publishers 바카라사이트 research “probably paints a less than stellar picture of 바카라사이트 industry and 바카라사이트 way 바카라사이트y deal with 바카라사이트se problems”.
In 바카라사이트 paper, Dr Brookes cautions that 바카라사이트 findings may not apply to scientific literature at large because of 바카라사이트 study’s small sample size and 바카라사이트 fact that it focused mainly on image data from 바카라사이트 life sciences.
