Nature =/= Nature Communications
Excellent breakdown of flaws, this one is the most damning to me:
Who cares if you find more bladder cancer if this radiation isn’t associated with bladder tumors? This makes the study absolutely stink of a conclusion looking for evidence, especially in combination with the failure to use the actual radiation data readily available from nuclear sites.
That's what PubPeer is best for. :) Highly recommend grabbing the browser extensions, it helps contextualise a lot and authors do respond.
Thanks for making me aware of it, I dunno how active the humanities side of it is but I’m definitely going to be checking my sources on it when I’m doing class work 👍
A little banner will pop up on wikipedia and journals if the article itself has comments or its' cited ones do. It's relatively unintrusive. It's less active on humanities journals, but still around. :)
