Maybe the article is neutral, but the site does not come off as such. From their homepage: >The week at Retraction Watch featured: > Mathematician withdraws preprint – 24 years after initial submission > Penn says access to former Twitter employee’s thesis was ‘mistakenly closed off’ following Elon Musk tweets > PLOS flags nearly 50 papers by controversial French COVID researcher for ethics concerns > Cancer researcher banned from federal funding for faking data in nearly 400 images in 16 grant applications > ‘I never asked or expected to be included as an author’: Retired Penn State prof has three retractions for manipulated peer review The thing about mathematics papers is that, for the most part, social acceptance is _the_ test of research. I say social acceptance, because that is what it is, namely a culture of rigorous logical review of the arguments in a paper. As such, you don't really have ethics concerns relating to faked data or p-hacking in a math paper. When a math paper is retracted, it is almost certainly due to an honest mistake. Papers with such an error are likely not a very significant paper to begin with--as the error likely escaped noticed because there were fewer eyes on it--or there is a very deep and subtle error that would be hard for anyone to catch.
