"Upstream" with Erik Torenberg

NOTE

Fostering Integrity Through Independent Investigation

The establishment of independent projects dedicated to uncovering fraud in academia is essential. While some existing initiatives like Retraction Watch and Dada Calada offer platforms for data collection and support, there is a noticeable absence of funding for neutral organizations specifically tasked with fraud investigation. The primary purpose of such efforts should not only be to discredit academia but to validate its credibility when appropriate. Furthermore, the involvement of philanthropic individuals, particularly in the tech sector, could provide crucial support for these endeavors, creating a space for genuinely committed individuals to spearhead the investigation of academic integrity without bias or ulterior motives.
