> reading scientific papers

Based on recent HN threads, sounds like a large percentage of scientific papers are pure fiction. At least books on Goodreads have public reviews and a simple star rating.

Does similar exist for scientific papers?

Published papers have to go through a reviewing process. You can see peer review feedback here: https://openreview.net

The review process is generally garbage for everything below Tier 1 journals. The original point stands.

https://retractionwatch.com is a good one to read occasionally.

Yes, and those papers are increasingly being found to be fraudulent or not reproducible.
