Dear Tuyen Van Duong , I am just reading this article which I have obtained from Retraction Watch. Your link to article brings just abstract, no full text available.

"Our results indicate that retracted articles do receive attention because of their original publication, but they also receive substantial attention because of their retraction. In fact, 100/175 (57%) retracted articles received most of their attention after retraction. However, this is not the case for the popular articles, which by the nature of being popular may also be the ones most likely to spread misinformation. These articles tend to receive 2.5 times the amount of attention received by their retraction after adjusting for attention received because of retraction..."

Medical journal retracts article on “tribalism” after readers call it offensive...

A journal has retracted — and replaced — an article on “tribalism” in medicine and deleted a tweet about it, too, after readers complained that the language in the piece was offensive to Indigenous peoples.

The authors were Zahir Kanjee and Leslie Bilello, of Harvard Medical School.

The journal used social media to promote the article — which prompted a flood of criticism about the use of the word “tribalism” and its permutations...

Retractions in medicine: the tip of the iceberg

In 1983, in the aftermath of what was then considered one of the most significant cases of scientific fraud ever, The New York Times reported that 82 papers by John Darsee, formerly of Harvard and Emory, had been retracted (available at https://www.nytimes.com/1983/06/14/science/notorious-darsee-case-shakes-assumptions-about-science.html). That idea persisted: ∼30 years later, Nature said that >80 of Darsee’s papers had been withdrawn...

The total number of retracted Systemic Reviews is increasing worldwide, in particular in China. The most common reasons for retraction are fraudulent peer-review and unreliable data, and in most cases the SR is retracted more than a year after publication. Better systems of ethical oversight and culture to improve the process of peer review and adherence to the COPE retraction guidance are needed, and authors should strengthen their skills in SR methodology...

Nine months after Retraction Watch notified a pair of journals about fraudulent letters they’d published by a researcher in Singapore, the publications are now being retracted.

As we reported last October following earlier news reports, Shunjie Chua, fabricated the names and affiliations of co-authors in at least four articles, two of which were being retracted. At the time, we found two letters to the editor by Chua and his “colleagues” and brought them to the attention of the journals in which those articles had appeared.

Why retraction does not stop citation and demonstrate that the vast majority of post-retraction citations in biomedicine do not document the retraction?

https://osf.io/4jexb/

Hi,

Although the absolute number of annual retractions has grown, the rate of increase has slowed.

The data confirm that the absolute number of retractions has risen over the past few decades, from fewer than 100 annually before 2000 to nearly 1000 in 2014. But retractions remain relatively rare: Only about four of every 10,000 papers are now retracted. And although the rate roughly doubled from 2003 to 2009, it has remained level since 2012. In part, that trend reflects a rising denominator: The total number of scientific papers published annually more than doubled from 2003 to 2016.

What happens when a scientific paper is found to be fraudulent, plagiarized, or unreliable? After a potentially lengthy investigative process, the paper will be officially retracted and the journal will write a retraction notice to let readers know why the paper has been pulled. But retractions don’t make a paper disappear altogether. Retracted papers continue to get cited, spreading misinformation through the scientific literature...

Now, a new study by a group of Stanford University researchers published in PLoS ONE suggests that the attention retracted papers receive from news sites and social media is problematic as well. They found that popular articles, defined as those with an Altmetric attention score of more than 20, “receive substantially more attention than their retraction notice.”  And it gets worse: The researchers found that the attention popular articles receive after they are retracted “does not always reflect their retraction, but may perpetuate” the flawed science they contain...

Although the underrepresentation of women in publication is a proven fact, there is no information on its counterpart: retractions. Using a previously studied cohort of retractions, the gender of the first author was checked manually to see if there was a similar pattern in the reasons for retraction for women and men authors...

Overall, fraud and plagiarism accounted for 28.6 and 59.2% of women and men-authored retractions, respectively. These findings may have implications as regards training in responsible conduct in research; however, without further investigating larger cohorts and a better understanding of underlying mechanisms, it would be premature to draw any firm conclusions at this stage...

The number of annual retractions has grown over the past decade with fraudulent behavior accounting for the majority of cases. Our study revealed that although numerous retractions were due to possible misconduct, many ocular article retraction notices did not mention fraud, highlighting that not all forms of retraction are due to scientific misdemeanor. While it is uncertain whether rising retractions correspond with increased falsification of studies or increased policing of falsification, accounting sources of increased retractions is valuable in monitoring trends and noting repeat offenders...

Retraction Stigma and its Communication via Retraction Notices

Retraction of published research is laudable as a post-publication self-correction of science but undesirable as an indicator of grave violations of research and publication ethics. Given its various adverse consequences, retraction has a stigmatizing effect both in and beyond the academic community. However, little theoretical attention has been paid to the stigmatizing nature of retraction. Drawing on stigma theories and informed by research on retraction, we advance a conceptualization of retraction as stigma. We define retraction stigma as a discrediting evaluation of the professional competence and academic ethics of the entities held accountable for retraction. Accordingly, we identify seven core dimensions of retraction stigma, consider its functional justifications at both social and psychological levels, and distinguish its various targets and stakeholders. In view of the central role of retraction notices, we also discuss how retraction stigma is communicated via retraction notices and how authors of retraction notices may exercise their retraction stigma power and manipulate the stigmatizing force of retraction notices. We conclude by recommending retraction stigma as a theoretical framework for future research on retraction and pointing out several directions that this research can take...

Reporting on Retractions

Despite the challenges and time involved in reporting on retractions or scientific misconduct, they hold potential for huge impact. For example, one of the stories in the Surgisphere series that Offord reported was cited in a joint World Health Organization/Pan American Health Organization guidance on ivermectin use, another unproven drug against COVID-19. In making retractions public knowledge, Offord hopes that readers come away with a more complete view of science, an enterprise that is led by scientists, “who are people, some of whom may have flaws.”
