Are Trump's handlers trying to destroy the US's ability to make scientific progress and innovate? This is insane.

With Trump's isolationist tendencies, the US is going to end up losing much of its influence in the world. China is the likely candidate for filling that void, although the EU, Russia and India are major players too.

Retracted papers are usually still visible, just with a warning that they are retracted

You'll have to be careful it wasn't actually retracted for legitimate reasons

Ahh, I was worried they'll be taken offline. Thanks for clarifying!
