      As an interesting note on this, the last time I contacted an author/editor to point out a study had mathematical errors, I was dismissed by the editor and insulted by the authorhttps://twitter.com/apsmunro/status/1364220390159970304 …

      Conversely, I've had some really excellent discussions on Twitter about research, people are often happy to engage. Is this unprofessional?

      Another important point to think about @apsmunro is that formal channels to critique research take at least months, and can easily stretch to years. The challenge with the status quo is that it often results in no action even for obvious mistakes

          If you don't believe me, check out @MicrobiomDigest and her feed. Hundreds/thousands of papers with everything from mistakes to fraud, but rarely is any action taken

          Replying to @GidMK @apsmunro

          I'm torn about this. I'm rapidly approaching the point where I'm giving up on having a paper dealt with through official channels (the data appears to be non experimentally derived). But making a public allegation of straight up fraud isn't something I'm keen on.

          Replying to @K_Sheldrick @apsmunro

          I never allege fraud, because fraud requires intent and commenting on people's intent is impossible. That being said, I think it's perfectly reasonable to point out inconsistencies in a public sphere, particularly when the official responses are often...lacking

          We need a GitHub for scientific/academic papers.

          Again completely agree I have seen first hand the benefits of twitter peer review (you even got a thanks in a manuscript!) I have also suffered the painful and drawn out process of trying to react to published articles through journals, rapid peer review via SoMe much better
