Concept

Can tweets be used to detect problems early with scientific papers? A case study of three retracted COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2 papers findings - Bae et al.

Reason for retracting the Bae et al. publication was due to no recognition of limit of detection, LOD

  • “LOD” not mentioned in tweets before retraction and only 19 times since retraction
  • “Limit of detection” only mentioned once before retraction and 7 times after
  • 3 tweets included both “LOD” and “limit of detection”
  • Tweets about the publication did not talk about the reason for retraction, and only 0.5% of the tweets after retraction mentioned it
