Geographical Disparities in Research Misconduct: Analyzing Retraction Patterns by Country

Geographical Disparities in Research Misconduct: Analyzing Retraction Patterns by Country

Retractions are essential for maintaining scientific integrity, especially in cases of research misconduct [1-4]. Data from 2013 to 2015 show that retraction rates vary by country due to differences in research culture, regulations, and publication pressures [3]. Understanding these variations is vital to identifying systemic issues in research integrity.

Women Are Underrepresented Among Authors of Retracted Publications: Retrospective Study of 134 Medical Journals

Women Are Underrepresented Among Authors of Retracted Publications: Retrospective Study of 134 Medical Journals

There was also no comparison group in a US study that examined 228 cases of misconduct (1994-2012) and found that 149 (65%) were authored by men [6]. Finally, a study assessing factors associated with 611 retractions (2010-2011) found no association with gender, but gender was not determined using a validated tool [7]. In this study, we compared the representation of female first and last authors in retracted articles and all publications by examining 134 medical journals.
