Abstract

The article focuses on a new program incentivizing the detection of scientific errors with financial rewards, backed by funding from the University of Bern. Topics include the prevalence of errors in research, the lack of incentives for error detection in science compared to other industries, and the launch of the "ERROR" program aiming to pay reviewers to identify mistakes in influential papers, starting with psychology.
