Democratic status shows a negative association with scientific article retraction rates, although this association is complex and mediated by institutional factors. The findings suggest that while democratic societies may have
lower rates of problematic research requiring retraction, they also demonstrate stronger institutional capacity for detecting and addressing research misconduct.
Among 167 countries, higher @TheEIU Democracy Index scores were associated w lower retraction rates (−0.46; 95% CrI, −0.59 - 0.32) after controlling for national research, freedom variables

I really like the work division between McMaster and Europe for developing network meta-analysis methods: Europeans have focused on developing statistical and quantitative aspects while McMaster has focused on subjective and philosophical parts.

Besides, using proprietary software is against transparency, and science without transparency and accessibility is just an advertisement.
