  • Fake Peer Review: What We’ve Learned at Retraction Watch
  • Keynote speaker: Ivan Oransky
    In 2012, Retraction Watch was first to report on a case of fake peer review. In what struck us as a brazen bit of deception, a researcher had managed to peer review 28 of his own papers. Since then, more than 500 papers have been retracted because they were accepted based on similar schemes. In this talk, drawing from our database of more than 16,000 retractions, I’ll describe how these schemes work, where the cases are coming from, and what publishers are doing to prevent such fraud. I’ll also put retractions for fake peer review in the context of what we’ve learned about retractions in general.

    About our speaker: Ivan Oransky, MD, is Distinguished Writer in Residence at New York University's Arthur Carter Journalism Institute, and co-founder of Retraction Watch. He previously was global editorial director of MedPage Today, executive editor of Reuters Health, and held editorial positions at Scientific American and The Scientist. He is the recipient of the 2015 John P. McGovern Award for excellence in biomedical communication from the American Medical Writers Association and has written for numerous publications, including Nature, The New Republic, and The New York Times. Oransky is also a clinical assistant professor of medicine at the New York University School of Medicine, and serves as president of the Association of Health Care Journalists.
