    He's correct. I'm beginning to wonder, however, if maybe that should change.https://twitter.com/venkmurthy/status/1268661836393656334 …

        How should that be possible? Apart from a simple plausibility tests? You won't find manipulation in good doctored data without efforts way beyond a review.

        It's not all-or-nothing. Convincing fake data can take a lot more work to produce. Complete citations for collected data, including specific contacts, also makes fake data more risky.

        Yup the editors are supposed to do that (or put together mechanisms to do so).

        I took Murthy's statement as a broader reference to the whole system.

        Two steps. 1. Anonymous pre-review screen (scientific methods and interest). 2. Conditional acceptance based on open review. No wild-west of pre-print servers without screen. Early release of results.

        Individually done it us not. *collectively* and with regards to reproducibility it is a good defense. The scale of some classes of modern science and the immediate ties in some cases to practical benefits makes it more challenging however.

        No, he isn't. It was VERY EASY to find it was a fraud. Many people did, different from NEJM, BJM, JAMA on the subject, which also had negative data about HCQ.
