Stemming the Propagation of Error

About half of the (relevant set of) articles published in neuroscience mistake difference between a significant result and an insignificant result as evidence for the two being significantly different (see here). It would be good to see if the articles that make this mistake, for instance, received fewer citations post publication of the article revealing the problem. If not, we probably have more work to do. We probably need to improve ways by which scholars are alerted about the problems in articles they are reading (and interested in citing). And that may include building different interfaces for the various ‘portals’ (Google Scholar, JSTOR etc., and journal publishers) that scholars heavily use. For instance, creating UIs that thread reproduction attempts, retractions, articles finding serious errors within the original article, etc.
