Retraction Watch : ウィキペディア英語版 | Retraction Watch Retraction Watch is a blog that reports on retractions of scientific papers. The blog was launched in August 2010 and is produced by science writers Ivan Oransky (Vice President and Global Editorial Director of (''MedPage Today'' ))〔(Ivan Oransky Bio on ''Retraction Watch'' ) Retrieved Feb 5, 2015.〕 and Adam Marcus (editor of ''Gastroenterology & Endoscopy News'').〔(Adam Marcus Bio on ''Retraction Watch'' ) Retrieved Feb 5, 2015.〕 == Scope == Oransky and Marcus were motivated to launch the blog to increase the transparency of the retraction process.〔 They observed that retractions of papers generally are not announced, and the reasons for retractions are not publicized. One result is that other researchers or the public who are unaware of the retraction may make decisions based on invalid results. Oransky describes an example of a paper published in ''Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences'' that reported that a certain molecule could cause some types of breast cancers to respond to a drug that would otherwise be ineffective. Although the paper was retracted, its retraction was not reported in the media outlets that had reported on its conclusions, and before it was retracted a company had been established to make use of the reported discovery.〔Kelly Oakes, (Helping journalists track retractions: one year of Retraction Watch ), Association of British Science Writers, 20 August 2011〕 The blog argues that retractions provide a window into the self-correcting nature of science, and can provide insight into cases of scientific fraud. Its operators say that as science journalists, they have "found retractions to be the source of great stories that say a lot about how science is conducted."〔
