The number of scientific papers retracted annually rose from just 40 in 2000 to almost 5,500 in 2022, representing a whopping 13,650% change over the past 22 years, with researchers estimating an astonishing 100,000 would have to be withdrawn every year with more thorough vetting.

I really doubt that the number of scientific publications in that period has gone up by 13,650%. And if it has, that’s probably also worth investigating. Productivity levels don’t tend to go up that quickly.
