178: Alerting researchers about retractions

Dan and James discuss the Retractobot service, which emails authors about papers they've cited that have been retracted. What should authors do if they discover a paper they've cited has been retracted after they published their paper?

Other things they chat about

• A listener question about including examiner's comments in thesis
• The different types of retractions and thier impact
• Why aren't versioning systems more common in scientific publishing?
