Grateful for the invitation from the Royal Society — and heartening to see the growing momentum, evident throughout the meeting, behind separating evaluation from publication.
Brandon Stell of PubPeer makes good points about taking focus off publication and onto content of publication. Until we do that, we are treating symptoms.

While I am sad that it took eleven years to retract this paper, @PLOS.org journals make good decisions about when to correct or retract. They are also one of the few publishers that keep me informed of retractions. Other publishers should follow their example.

I reviewed a paper recently. It was flawed & rejected. It later appeared unchanged in another journal.
So how is peer review a “gold standard”?
You can’t have a gold standard if people can’t tell the difference between gold and bauxite..

While i agree we need to be alert to weaponisation, the threat to put all Sylvain's papers on the #PubPeer site to obtain their retraction is empty. I think we should avoid amplifying this view of PubPeer as some kind of unmoderated site where anyone can make false accusations.

Is there even a small chance this could finally put the issue to rest in the minds of Kennedy et al?
Let's hope that the data from this study will be open and the results published in a format that allows for scientific discussion and critique.
