ned haughton<p>Sometimes I think Medium/Genius style annotations/comment highlights for scientific journal articles would would be a very good idea. Seems like it's not that uncommon for minor bullshit to slip through the peer review and editing process, and get baked in to the corpus. Often this stuff is not big enough to warrant a retraction or even an official correction, but it would be good to be able to point out e.g. when the author has made a questionable interpretation of a figure..</p><p><a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>science</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>academia</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/PeerReview" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PeerReview</span></a></p>
