#retracted — Public Fediverse posts

From arXiv: “Do Large Language Models Know Which Published Articles Have Been #Retracted?” No, #authors, it doesn’t appear that they do, so using #LLMs to produce your research paper’s reference list doesn’t decrease your chances of citing #faulty #research. https://arxiv.org/abs/2604.16872

📰 | #Retracted: Die Frass-Studie „#Homöopathie bei #Lungenkrebs“ ist zurückgezogen worden

Vor zwei Wochen haben wir schon darauf hingewiesen – jetzt ist es soweit:
Das renommierte Fachjournal The Oncologist hat die Skandal-Studie zum „Überleben von Lungenkrebspatienten mit homöopathischer Komplementärbehandlung“ (#Frass et al. 2020) zurückgezogen.

Bernd Harder stellt im #SkeptixBlog innerlich den Gin kalt. Kalt genug ist es ja.

Because so many #science #journal #articles are #retracted, authors of a recent study on patterns behind #retractions say in part that there is a "need for better #dissemination of retraction notices & greater #transparency in the retraction process." https://www.cell.com/heliyon/fulltext/S2405-8440(24)14651-8 #AmEditing

This "news" is circulating pretty much in the ponds of the Daily Fail and other yellow journalism, and that of the NCR and other hard theistic outlets.
And in suspicious timing, they've also almost simultaneously "broken" "news" of David Rolfe's supposed Shroud-based conversion.
