What do you see as non-neutral?


It seems curated towards scientific misdeeds. Maybe non-neutral is the wrong word, but I could totally understand being upset having your name on the site.


People won’t feel comfortable retracting papers with errors if the practice in the industry is to highlight the retraction on a giant billboard next to items like “Scientist commits massive fraud.” If that’s the consequence for honestly correcting your own scientific record, better just to leave incorrect work out there.


For one thing, why is everything written as "scientist retracts paper" instead of "paper retracted" ?
