In 2011, Oransky and Adam Marcus coauthored an article in Nature pointing out that the peer review process for scholarly publications continues long after the publication time. In 2014, Oransky coauthored an article in Nature that described how several authors were caught reviewing their own papers. In 2012, Oransky gave a talk at TEDMED titled "Are we overmedicalized?". In 2018, Oransky and Marcus profiled in Science (magazine) two researchers whose investigative work to find inconsistencies in published data has been instrumental in catalyzing retractions. In August 2023, Oransky and Marcus coauthored op-eds in Scientific American and The Guardian. In the wake of the resignation of Stanford University president Marc Tessier-Lavigne, they suggested that scientific misconduct is more common than is reported. They also assess that, despite recent scandals involving research misconduct, the academic community is not interested in exposing wrongdoing and scientific errors. However, all members of the academic community are responsible for the delays and lack of action. References
