<i>Would you agree that there&#x27;s room for a site that wants to fix science journalism and how the public interacts with science?</i><p>Problematic publications about science are certainly a big problem, worthy of your attention and mine, and my posting history over 2624 days here on Hacker News may suggest that it is one of my pet issues. How much interest this issue gains here on Hacker News is one thing I look at as I ponder what to do about the problem--it will take a lot of work with a lot of collaborators (some of whose work is cited in my various submissions and comments here) to tackle that problem.<p>As far as I know about who can participate on PubPeer, absolutely anyone can participate, as long as they have something to say about a particular scientific paper.
