Hi Andy, I'm the Head of Peer Review and Research Integrity at @ioppublishing.bsky.social. Firstly I'm so sorry this has happened to you, we absolutely should have caught it. We’re taking this incredibly seriously and have started a thorough investigation. 1/2

This deluge is rapidly adding to costs for everyone. If it requires a human to kick it out there’s a cost involved, and rejection rates are soaring. We are going to have to get comfortable with more automation to filter slop out if we want to keep costs down.

I love this, so needed and would love to implement. A lot of the time as Publishers we don’t know the intent behind the problem, do you have any advice how we should handle categorizing when we know the error but don’t know the intent?

As a Publisher RIO I found myself tending to agree with the sleuth view. Institutions are improving but it’s very slow progress, if we get a response at all it’s often “not our problem” vibes.

Some Publishers update the article title in their metadata which would look like your first example. It’s recommended best practice to do this now but only for the last year or two. www.niso.org/publications...
NISO RP-45-2024, Communication of Retractions, Removals, and Expressions of Concern (CREC) | NISO website
Publications may be retracted or removed, or expressions of concern (EoCs) may be issued, for a broad range of reasons, including research misconduct and serious error. While retractions are valuable mechanisms by which to correct the scientific and scholarly record, correcting the record requires that these decisions be clearly communicated and broadly understood. Unclear and inconsistent representation of the retracted status of published works may ultimately contribute to continued uncritical use of these invalidated publications in the scholarly literature.
