Abstract
- The article presents an astronomical leap in the number of visits "PubPeer" received in their post-publication peer-review website after scientists anonymously tweeted they found error in figure replications in a recent Cell paper which described the first successful cloning of human cells. It compares the situation to be similar to that in 2004-2205 when South Korean scientist Woo Suk Hwang claimed to have cloned the first human cells where anonymous commenters discovered figure replications.
