Abstract
Retraction is a mechanism for eliminating and correcting serious problems in the scientific literature and increasing awareness among members of the scientific community about unreliable literature. The objectives of this study were to identify the characteristics and reasons for retraction, analyze citations, and describe the scientific, altmetrics, and technological impacts of hematology retracted papers. Retracted papers were searched using the hematology category of the Web of Science database. The search yielded 101 retracted papers in WoS. Statistics methods such as frequency, mean, interquartile range (IQR), and Pearson's Correlation were used for data analysis. The findings showed the retracted papers were published in 28 different hematology journals. The majority of retracted documents were in Article type (n = 81). The mean time interval of the retracted papers from the first publication to retraction was 50.83 months. The largest number of retracted papers belonged to the United States (n = 46). The most frequently reported reason for retraction was misconduct (n = 55). The findings of this study provide a landscape into the characteristics and citations of retracted papers before and after retraction in addition to the scientific, technological, and altmetrics impacts of hematology retracted papers in the scientific community.
撤回是一种消除和纠正科学文献中严重问题的机制,并提高科学界成员对不可靠文献的认识。本研究的目的是确定撤回的特征和原因,分析引文,并描述血液学撤回论文的科学、altmetrics和技术影响。收回的论文使用Web of Science数据库的血液学类别进行搜索。这次搜索在WoS中发现了101篇撤回的论文。数据分析采用了频率、平均值、四分位数间距(IQR)和皮尔逊相关等统计学方法。研究结果显示,撤回的论文发表在28种不同的血液学杂志上。大多数收回的文件属于文章类型(n=81)。撤回论文从首次发表到撤回的平均时间间隔为50.83个月。撤回论文数量最多的是美国(n=46)。撤回报告的最常见原因是不当行为(n=55)。除了血液学撤回论文在科学界的科学、技术和altmetrics影响外,这项研究的发现还提供了撤回前后撤回论文的特征和引用情况。
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.
