Most papers are full of errors nobody ever catches (or cares to catch).
- _yb2s 2y agoYes, as an academic scientist when I occasionally need to actually reproduce something from published literature to use in my own research- I almost always find at least half a dozen errors, even in a well respected journal. The only way to really find such errors is to painstakingly reproduce the work, and that is not part of the publication process- it would double the time and cost.
