Gotta admit. Feeling very despondent about the state of play around misinformation, trust etc this week. It’s bad enough fighting the cranks and quacks, but when it’s coming rom inside the tent...

Absolutely. The retractions from the major journals just keep coming. Things feeling pretty rotten to the core tbh

From memory, higher IF journals actually retract more on avg. Usually a good thing - shows they have some interest in the science post-publication

I'm more worried about the 1000s of dodgy papers published in no-name journals that will probably never be retracted but nevertheless impact science and policy for years to come

Or ~90% of studies looking into COVID-19 and vitamin D. Such a minefield of awful studies that should've never been published

You could say that about a lot of VitD studies
