Description: Mark Barnes and colleagues at Ropes & Gray, and Barbara Bierer published an article that discusses the impact of PubPeer, an online platform that publicizes suspected data integrity concerns, on the research misconduct process and the institutional challenges of handling anonymous comments within current regulations. The authors propose processes to ensure that credible allegations are rigorously assessed while reducing burden on institutions tasked with their investigation.
