PLOS ONE to retract more than 100 papers for manipulated peer review
- jfengel 4y agoI wonder if others are getting caught up in somebody else's misbehavior. I'm sure they'll all claim to be that one unfairly tarred with that brush, but I'd have thought that the proper response was to have the papers re-reviewed rather than retracted. Even the ones that manipulated the review process might be valid papers. Manipulating review should be a black mark on your record, but it's a high bar to prove. Having the paper fail a re-review would accomplish that -- imperfectly, but I would think better than just cutting all of the papers out.
