Major new study comparing biomedical #preprints with versions later published in peer-reviewed journals:
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.06.30.735556v1"The primary claim was unchanged in 39.9% of abstracts, minorly revised in 50.0% [mostly for level of confidence], and substantially revised in only 10.2%…Over the same period [2018-2025], biomedical papers that were never posted as preprints were retracted at roughly twice the rate of those that were."
Also see the summary in Nature.

A new study finds that by 2023, APC-based #OpenAccess articles had surpassed paywalled subscription articles in #retractions.
https://insights.uksg.org/articles/10.1629/uksg.763The study does not blame OA as such. It blames the APC business model.
"These findings raise concerns about APC‑based publishing models that directly link publisher revenue to publication volume, creating structural tensions for editorial oversight and quality control."

Ars Technica: Why did this journal retract two 1940s papers by Max Planck?. “German physicist Max Planck was one of the pioneers of quantum mechanics in the early 20th century, earning the 1918 Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery of quanta. There has never been a whisper of scandal about the man’s integrity or his scientific work. So a pair of science historians were puzzled when they […]

Retraction Watch: New system for flagging retracted papers finds scores of them in Cochrane reviews. “Cochrane has implemented a new system for checking whether any of its thousands of published reviews include retracted studies in their analyses, the organization announced today. The effort already has turned up dozens of reviews that do and will now get closer scrutiny to ensure their results […]
