Geographical Disparities in Research Misconduct: Analyzing Retraction Patterns by Country

Geographical Disparities in Research Misconduct: Analyzing Retraction Patterns by Country

Retraction counts (1996-2023) were obtained from the Retraction Watch (RW) database, isolating retractions due to misconduct. Misconduct was defined according to criteria previously established [6] and detailed in Multimedia Appendix 1. Both SJR and RW consider all authors listed on an article, regardless of position, when attributing publications and retractions, respectively, to a country. They use full counts, equally attributing publications and retractions to all listed countries.

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

A study of 113 Pub Med retraction notices from 2016 showed that fraud and plagiarism were found mainly in articles authored by men and errors in data and analysis were seen mainly in articles authored by women [4]. Another study using a database of retracted articles (1970-2022) showed that women represented 27% of first authors and 24% of last authors, but there was no comparison group (ie, the representation of women and men as authors of publications) [5].

Retractions in Dermatology Literature Between 1982 and 2022: Cross-sectional Study

Retractions in Dermatology Literature Between 1982 and 2022: Cross-sectional Study

In this study, we evaluated retracted publications in the field of dermatology and explored the trends of retraction over the past four decades. All retracted dermatology-related articles from 1982 to 2022 were identified on the Retraction Watch Database. The Retraction Watch Database, compiled and maintained by the Retraction Watch team, is the largest searchable database of retracted scientific articles publicly available to researchers [3].
