<i>I&#x27;ve wanted to put together a website that highlights bad science</i><p>Have you taken a look at PubPeer?[1] I guess I don&#x27;t have the right touch in submitting articles to Hacker News. I&#x27;ve submitted a few that mention this problem of checking and exposing bad science publications, linking to PubPeer, but the articles I submit[2] don&#x27;t usually enjoy as much discussion from you and other Hacker News participants as I would expect, based on the frequent statements I see here that people would like to help clean up scientific research. There is already a site for that, and it&#x27;s called PubPeer.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pubpeer.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pubpeer.com&#x2F;</a><p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;retractionwatch.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;08&#x2F;31&#x2F;pubpeer-founders-reveal-themselves-create-foundation&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;retractionwatch.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;08&#x2F;31&#x2F;pubpeer-founders-revea...</a><p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sciencemag.org&#x2F;news&#x2F;2015&#x2F;08&#x2F;pubpeer-s-secret-out-founder-controversial-website-reveals-himself" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sciencemag.org&#x2F;news&#x2F;2015&#x2F;08&#x2F;pubpeer-s-secret-out-...</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;submitted?id=tokenadult" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;submitted?id=tokenadult</a>
