Cristian Candia was awarded an ANID-FONDECYT Regular 2026 grant for the project “Collective Memory Decay in Science: Patterns and Determinants of Forgetting Retracted Research.”

The project studies why invalidated or retracted research can continue to be cited and influence scientific agendas after formal correction. It combines bibliometrics, citation networks, natural language processing, artificial intelligence, statistical physics, and models of collective memory.

The work consolidates a CRiSS-LAB research line on collective memory, science of science, and knowledge correction in high-volume information environments.
