Retracted-citation rate in recent biomedical papers: 12,402 papers across 54 journals, 744,770 citations checked. 7.1% cite a retracted/EoC/corrected reference (95% CI 6.6-7.5). CC BY 4.0. Study: https://manusights.com/tools/reference-integrity/retracted-citation-study
Our findings suggest that Carlson's closure of astrology might not adequately consider modern statistical techniques, even as they were available to him, and further quantitative analysis of astrology may still be relevant today.
