New database of journal article retractions to be created. [1]
A $400,000 grant from the MacArthur Foundation [3] will be used to create a database of retractions from scientific journals, extending the work done by  Adam Marcus [4] and AHCJ Vice President [5] Ivan Oransky [6] on their Retraction Watch [7] blog.
The grant was awarded to the Center for Scientific Integrity, a nonprofit organization set up by Marcus and Oransky.
The two journalists founded and run Retraction Watch [7], the independent blog that covers retractions. Oransky explains in a blog post [8] they are only able to cover about two-thirds of new retractions.
