[Irtalk] A crisis of trust | PubPeer

[Hilton Gibson]

Many critical comments have involved papers by highly successful
researchers and all the very best journals (https://pubpeer.com/journals)
and institutions are represented. So it is hard to argue that these
problems only represent a few bad apples that nobody knows or cares about.
We have come to believe that these comments are symptomatic of a deep
malaise: *modern science operates in an environment where questionable
practices and misconduct can be winning strategies*.
