COVID seems to have led to a lot of sloppy and/or wrong science.
The original article is from 2020, but it's been updated with recent papers as well. I noticed 2024 papers in there, too.

That is an awfully long list, don’t you think? It seems that a lot of COVID inspired science, economics and humanities papers are getting retracted, but they don’t say why! I just wonder if it is process errors or some other reason for retraction.

Some articles have more detailed coverage within Retraction Watch when clicking through. But not all. And the retraction notices by editors can be frustratingly vague.

Yes, I noticed the vagueness on most of the retractions. I am pretty sure nobody wants to prominently advertise their shortcomings, even in a rarified intellectual environment!
