Abstract

We investigated reasons for retraction, pre-and post-retraction citations and Altmetrics indicators of retracted publications in the medical sciences from 2016 to 2020. Data were retrieved from Scopus (n = 840). The Retraction Watch database was used to identify the reasons for retraction and the time that elapsed from publication to retraction. The findings showed that intentional errors were the most prevalent reasons for retraction. China (438), the United States (130), and India (51) have the largest share of retractions. These retracted publications were cited 5,659 times in other research publications, of which 1,559 citations occurred after the retraction, which should raise concern. These retracted papers were also shared in online platforms, mainly on Twitter and by members of the general public. We recommend that the early detection of retracted papers may help to reduce the rate of citation and sharing of these publications, and minimize their negative impact.

医学科学领域被撤出版物的演变:引文分析、文献计量学和 Altmetrics 趋势。
我们调查了 2016 年至 2020 年医学科学领域被撤出版物的撤稿原因、撤稿前后的引用情况和 Altmetrics 指标。数据来自 Scopus(n = 840)。撤稿观察数据库用于确定撤稿原因以及从发表到撤稿的时间。研究结果表明,故意错误是撤稿最普遍的原因。中国(438 篇)、美国(130 篇)和印度(51 篇)的撤稿数量最多。这些被撤稿的论文在其他研究出版物中被引用了 5659 次,其中 1559 次是在撤稿后被引用的,这应引起人们的关注。这些被撤稿的论文还被分享到网络平台上,主要是推特和公众。我们建议,及早发现被撤论文可能有助于降低这些出版物的引用和分享率,并将其负面影响降至最低。

期刊介绍: Accountability in Research: Policies and Quality Assurance is devoted to the examination and critical analysis of systems for maximizing integrity in the conduct of research. It provides an interdisciplinary, international forum for the development of ethics, procedures, standards policies, and concepts to encourage the ethical conduct of research and to enhance the validity of research results. The journal welcomes views on advancing the integrity of research in the fields of general and multidisciplinary sciences, medicine, law, economics, statistics, management studies, public policy, politics, sociology, history, psychology, philosophy, ethics, and information science. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees.
