Could open public review like the superconductor debate have sped up rigorous evals of ~4.6k journal articles that were retracted in 2022? If you think yes, put (our) money where your mouth is by enabling the experiment

For a long time I have had an interest in automatic theorem proving, and have done a small amount of research in the area. I am happy to say that I will soon be stepping up these efforts, thanks to a generous grant from the Astera Institute. 1/
