I think phrases like “a journal that got caught publishing a questionable study” imply a level of malice that isn’t appropriate. Journals publish studies all the time with some degree of peer review and a fraction of them are going to have problems, plus there is always the possibility of deliberate fraud that peer-review systems are explicitly not designed to catch. You shouldn’t believe every published study is 100% accurate just because it was published. But you also shouldn’t use phrases like “got caught” unless your goal is to imply deliberate malfeasance.
