PubPeer is a website that allows users to discuss and review scientific research after publication, i.e. post-publication peer review.
The site has served as a whistleblowing platform, in that it highlighted shortcomings in several high-profile papers, in some cases leading to retractions and to accusations of scientific fraud, [1] [2] [3] [4] as noted by Retraction Watch. [5] Contrary to most platforms, it allows anonymous post-publication commenting, a controversial feature which is the main factor for its success. [6] Consequently, accusations of libel have been levelled at some of PubPeer's users; [7] [8] correspondingly the website has since 2016 told commentators to use only facts that can be publicly verified. [9]
