We attended @r2rconf.bsky.social and spoke about ‘The Future of Research Integrity’

As part of our talk, we asked the audience for their views on the future of research integrity

We received some interesting insights, which we’ve shared in our latest blog post
research-signals.com/2025/03/04/r...

We provided data and analysis for this insightful @nature.com article, exploring institutional retraction rates:

Institutions can play a key role in preventing misconduct and correcting the scholarly record when issues are identified

Last year, we introduced Expert Contributions

This enables researchers to surface potentially problematic research or highlight great work in Signals, and have their contributions amplified through the Signals Data Graph
