Update: We submitted the comment to the Journal of Population Economics, and today we got a desk reject with this motivation. However, we do not know their conclusion about the main results and why the paper was not retracted. Clearly, they do not hold. 1/4
I conduct research in good faith and I feel obliged to report a harassment, character assassination and stalking campaign that has lasted over a year, of which I have been a target. This campaign has been disproportionate and damaging. 1/N

Today, I encountered yet another instance where a scholar, influenced by a targeted harassment campaign on social media, formed a misrepresented view of my research after reading certain posts and working papers. How much longer will I have to endure this? 1/2

I have been denied a research grant due to false allegations stemming from a targeted harassment campaign on social media. These baseless claims—related to the transparency of my code and the interpretation of my results 1/N
They sent me an email, and I provided the code within 28 hours. Their initial request even specified a tight deadline 'relatively quick' which I found out meant around 5 to 6 hours. Beyond that, I offered to collaborate on a paper to further the research, but that was also declined.

A re-analysis of Ciacci's (2024) "Banning the purchase of sex increases cases of rape: Evidence from Sweden" Journal of Population Economics reveals major issues. A year ago, reproducers Adema, Folke, and Rickne found coding errors driving the paper's key results. Let's unpack this in a 🧵

It’s been almost a month since the unjust retraction was forced through—a decision not made by the scientific committee, but pushed by those who waged a 16-month online harassment campaign against my work.

One day, I will understand why an academic would seek to overturn a scientific committee's decision.
Update #2, RETRACTED: 15 months after we (w @ollefolke.bsky.social and @johannarickne.bsky.social ) submitted the initial comment to the Journal, we've noticed the paper was ultimately retracted. Retraction note here: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

It’s unfortunate that this social media campaign has led to such consequences, particularly for journals like JOPE. Junior researchers — especially those working on non-mainstream topics — may now worry they could face similar treatment, which is deeply concerning for academic integrity

This is the core issue highlighted by this event: If you are a senior professor and dislike an article's findings or a scientific committee's decision, you can overrule them—even forcing a retraction—through a harassment campaign on social media.This seems possible with @springernature.com journals
This is so worrying and so bad for JOPE's reputation. I thought retractions were the consequence of fraud, not of senior professors not liking certain results #healteconomics #econsky

I don’t know what happened with the journal on their end. But I do think it’s important people hear both sides of the story.
I wasn’t invited to the podcast — and I just hope no one else is treated the way I was by the authors of this replication.
