The Strange Case of the Missing Whistle-Blower: Predatory Publishing Strikes Back? | Blog | AAP Gateway

"In this era of facts and "alternative facts," how does the earnest clinician know what to believe? Well, if a researcher reports fake results, there's not much we as consumers of the medical literature can do, other than hope the crime is exposed when other researchers are unable to replicate the results. However, if it's a matter of predatory publishing/fake reviews, that's what I'm hoping Evidence eMended helps you with. If by reading this blog you feel a little bit more comfortable knowing how to critically read an article (not just the abstract), you'll be better positioned to see some gaps in the authors' logic. Unfortunately, we won't have Beall's List to help us anymore, but it's good to see Retraction Watch is still going strong."
