The exact change
Article cited the wrong institutional affiliation for a real researcher at the time of a specific publication, and added a causal explanation not supported by the paper itself.
Corrected the affiliation to Ioannidis's real 2005-era institutions and replaced the unsupported causal explanation with the paper's actual stated reasoning.
Suggested change
See before/after.
Why this is better
The James March 1991 Organization Science citation and the Gordon Guyatt/McMaster evidence-based-medicine citation in the same article both verified as fully accurate; the combined 32 percent figure is a correct (if unstated-as-such) sum of the paper's real 16 percent contradicted plus 16 percent weakened findings.
How this record is verified
- The contribution is tied to a real, identified contributor, not an anonymous byline.
- It counts only because the publisher, When Notes Fly, accepted it. Self-claimed work earns nothing.
- It is recorded against a specific page and cannot be bought or edited after the fact.
