Ivan Oransky presented on retractions in stem cell research and the rise of post-publication peer review. He discussed that retractions have been increasing in recent years, with most due to misconduct. Journals are also listening more to concerns raised on sites like PubPeer and sometimes retracting papers due to image manipulation issues. Doing the right thing and addressing errors pays off for journals' credibility in the long run.
