I don't have an example from a published academic paper, but from the linked article:
> the odds are this will stoke real hostility for those who are already dubious about what has been termed 'bullying' and so on by people interested in reproducibility.
I'm pretty sure this was intended to be read as
[has been termed] ['bullying' and so on by people interested in reproducibility].
But it could also be read as
[has been termed 'bullying' and so on] [by people interested in reproducibility].
Ambiguous wording like this could easily be overlooked in review, especially if the misinterpretation agrees with what the reader was already expecting.
