PNAS, which stands for the\u00a0<em>Proceedings of the National Academies of Science<\/em>, is one of the most prestigious multidisciplinary journals in the world.<\/a> Retraction is an outcome no scholar wishes to experience because it signifies a serious research error and, as such, entails considerable reputational damage.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Was it because of they made up data or because their calculations were wrong.\u00a0 Nope.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Some observers have suggested that the retraction was politically motivated. The study, which showed no evidence of racial bias in police shootings, had been used in political debates in ways that challenged calls for radical police reform; calls that had grown louder in the aftermath of the murder of George Floyd. Heather Mac Donald, a research fellow at the conservative Manhattan Institute, claimed the article was retracted because she had cited it in a congressional hearing and in essays published in the Wall Street Journal and other right-leaning media outlets. Others denied this claim. Most importantly, Dr. Joseph Cesario, the senior author of the retracted article wrote, in response to Ms. Mac Donald, \u201cWe retracted the paper because we overstepped with the inferences we made from our data.\u201d In other words, he maintained the reason was not political but motivated by purely scientific considerations.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The narrative must be maintained at all costs, even if it means loss of credibility of some of the hive workers.<\/p>\n<p>The truth?\u00a0 What is truth?\u00a0 Is your truth my truth?<\/p>\n<p>Hah!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If The Findings Detract, You Must Retract | Jukka Savolainen https:\/\/t.co\/25aJdMqkAe &mdash; Quillette (@Quillette) June 18, 2023 &nbsp; &#8220;In 2020, five psychologists asked the editors<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,712],"tags":[713,3427,3428],"class_list":["post-24346","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-current-events","category-fake-science","tag-fake-science","tag-justified-deadly-force-and-the-myth-of-systemic-racism-the-facts-everyone-must-know","tag-mike-simonelli"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.4 -
