      Journals that I've personally seen publish papers with obvious errors in them during 2020: JAMA JAMA Open NEJM BMJ BMJ EBM Lancet Nature Nature Scientific Reports PNAS Etc...https://twitter.com/Constababble/status/1337856650963603456 …

      Given the trash we have seen in there, I wouldn't worry if your paper wasn't accepted to Nature.

      The mistakes I'm describing here range from completely inappropriate statistical analysis (think undergrad level issues), to maths errors, to outright fraud and everything in between Published in the top journals in the world I've got a file full of them

          Nature SR is a whole can of worms, they published a study claiming phone use can make people grow horns.

          make a thread! (also you should probably submit responses/comments but i won't see those, so an educational thread would be ideal for my purposes)

          Get some economists on their editorial boards and referee registers, I guarantee acceptance rates will plunge.

          ...and that’s precisely why I really, really enjoy your threads. Because it helps me greatly to not blindly accept papers from major journals...

          Should make for relatively trivial systematic review once 2020 is over to quantify the lowered editorial standards for publishing in a handful of high-impact journals.

          If there was no patina of respectability or pecking order of brands maybe the reported research would have to stand on its own. @researchersone for example.
