PubPeer Selections: Feedback within a day; “worst examples of data;” endocrinology papers questioned

PubPeer won a near-complete victory in a court case last week. Here’s another installment of PubPeer Selections:

• “Thanks for your comment, it’s great to get feedback so quickly on this,” writes the first author of an ecology paper published the day before.
• A thread is gathering “The worst examples of data in life science journals.”
• The editor-in-chief of Psychopharmacology has apparently responded to a commenter’s queries and said he’d follow COPE guidelines.
• “If you want to see the raw data of them, please ask me directly.” An author of a PLOS ONE paper apparently responds to questions about figures. [Note, 10 a.m. Eastern: This link is not working properly, PubPeer tells us they’re working on it.]
• The images in two Endocrinology papers and a FASEB Journal study by a team of researchers from Italy and Spain come under scrutiny.
