We're thrilled to announce the Ctrl-Z Award, a US$2,500 prize for researchers “who discover substantial errors in their published work and take meaningful steps to correct the scientific record." Covered by @nature.com today; read more here: centerforscientificintegrity.org/2026/03/10/a...

Keep calm and be transparent: advice from scientists who retracted their papers

Retractions correct the scientific record, but they have stigma attached to them. Some in the research community want that to change.

Submission to the Journal of #Glaucoma requires consultation with a statistical expert. Seems positive but the message only appears at the submission stage, not within author instructions - perhaps too late? Will be interesting to see if this helps improve the standard of conduct and reporting.

Screenshot from journal submission portal asking "If your article includes statistics, has the information reported been evaluated by an expert?"

Someone on here recently used a term like "paper laundering" when low quality evidence is included in meta-analyses. I'm pretty sure I am guilty of that here. In retrospect, perhaps we could have presented individual study estimates without a pooled estimate. > www.ajo.com/article/S000...
