The statement from spinger on this is here. I can think of some ways to fix the particular issue that caused the retractions:
I would guess that any solution to the larger issue of scientific misconduct would need to consider Goodhart’s law and work to eliminate opportunites for people to game the system. There is a site called retractionwatch which has information on retractions that have occured.
I did not know about Goodhart's law. Thanks for the link.
