Neuroskeptic A PNAS paper on hallucinogens has been retracted www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... There were conflicts of interest between authors and referees (suggested by the authors). The thing is, it's a journal's job to check for these... not just trust the authors! @retractionwatch.com
Scienza in rete La firma da primo autore su un articolo di fisica quantistica ci è stata offerta a 1.050 dollari. Nel 2025 le riviste hanno ritirato circa 10.000 articoli: secondo Adam Marcus di @retractionwatch.com dovrebbero essere almeno il doppio. scienzainrete.it/node/20918

Fabian Wittmers Moradi et al. 2022 (DOI: 10.1016/j.flatc.2022.100350) Top: paper, bottom: raw data.
