From leaving impactful PubPeer comments to escalating concerns with publishers and institutions, Reese covers:
- How to effectively flag questionable findings in academic papers
- Why community-led reviews are changing scientific publishing
- Tips for escalating integrity issues (and why persistence matters)
- Tools and technology that can make error detection more accessible
- Positive outcomes where COSIG has influenced retractions, corrections, and publisher practices
