The trials and tribulations of post publication peer review
November 20, 2023 @ 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm UTC+0
At our Community call on 20 November 2023, we hosted a discussion on the recent high-profile examples of the dangers to preprint commenting and highlighting of research misconduct.
As preprint reviewing and commenting increasingly drives the push towards transparency, these topics become ever more important. We heard from Lonni Besancon who has conducted multiple meta-research projects and written opinion pieces focussed on unreliable science or fraudulent data. In response to his rigorous and scientific approaches, Lonni has faced lawsuits and attacks from senior scientists. This session involved a short talk from Lonni about his experiences followed by a longer discussion with all attendees around the theme of post publication review and how, as a community, we should engage with fraudulent or unreliable science and protect those who identify such work.
