How can I find studies with statistical mistakes? I would like to create a list of known problematic studies that misused statistics.
I tried searching google and read a few papers on the topic, but none of them contained specific examples of bad studies.
Is there a list of such papers? is anyone aggregating them?
Note: if there is a reason not to reference them I would also like to know why.
The closest I would know of are Retraction Watch and PubPeer.
Retraction Watch
First, Retraction Watch has a database comprising retractions of scientific papers. Click on the arrow next to the search field &quot;Reason(s) for Retraction&quot;, and you will see possible candidates for statistical mistakes.

PubPeer
Secondly, PubPeer allows anyone to write a 'post-publication review' responding to any scientific paper. Search for &quot;statistical mistake&quot; and you will find many cases in which readers raised concerns about published findings - some of them having led to formal errata, corrigenda or retractions. Here is one example, where the reader starts an extensive response with &quot;I have no comments to make about the data, but I do have concerns about some of the statistical analyses&quot;, and goes on to list issues about the methodical approach of that paper.
