Is there a method of flagging papers in scientific journals that have been criticized or refuted, e.g., by later studies or proven inability to replicate the data?
In legal research services, like Lexis Nexis or Westlaw, many cases are "flagged" when a later case or statute reverses, narrows, or otherwise affects the earlier case. This system warns lawyers that they may not be able to cite the flagged case in their current work. Of course legal research services also come with their own issues and costs; some of which are likely associated with this system.
