I think that Retraction Watch needs to do an institution leaderboard, to highlight which are the most, & least, corrupt institutions, because corruption’s a cultural thing, not merely an individual-thing.

Wouldn’t that end up with a big survivorship bias? The truly corrupt would have no retractions from authors or institutions and there are potential incentives for publishers to not retract.
Exactly.
There are plenty of retraction worthy papers still standing. I think most in academia have come to the realisation that as of the late 2010s and early 2020s the ratio of decent paper to slop has gotten so bad that most bad papers are just ignored, not retracted.
Now, I’m aware that I’m on the science memes comm right now, and that you’re all much smarter and more enlightened and mature and shit.
But that dudes name is hitler and not one of you has said a word about it, and I find that very disappointing.
Isn’t that the joke ?
Yes! Finally a comment that explained it!
I will fully admit you got a wet chortle out of me
I mean, he’s bad, but he’s not Hitler
I wonder how retracting a man’s papers compares to rejecting him from art school?
Hitler never had the making of a varcity athlete
they’re not taking any chances
Damn you Hitler, not again!
Put this guy on suicide watch and keep him away from his niece.
he’s ripe for a great career with openai

Had this article pop up in my news feed last week or smth like that
If you read it you will notice the absurdly named Hitler Louis has a partner named Innocent Benjamin lmfao. It reads like satire.
What’s the high score for retractions?
Aiming for the Guiness, I guess
He’s also a prince, I’ve heard
By leaderboard do they mean the “Bad Hitlers” leaderboard? Cus he’s not at the top sure, but on the board I can believe.
