“… 24 In contrast, plagiarism and duplication are more common in countries that do not have a historical scientific background and publish articles in low-profile journals. 1 Despite the growing number of articles to raise the awareness of researchers and editors on plagiarism and duplication, 25 26 27 it is obvious that there is still a long way to go in this regard. Researchers in scientifically developing countries should be educated on retraction involving plagiarism and duplication.…”

“…The most important motivation for submitting a scientific paper is the desire to disseminate knowledge. 1 The detailed assessment of the articles before publication, unbiased peer-review process, and prioritization of the selected scientific papers are indispensable steps of scientific communication. 2 Retracted papers are items removed from the literature due to substantial scientific misconduct (plagiarism, falsification, and fabrication), errors in data processing, researcher and journal carelessness and negligence, and other causes.…”

Background Retraction is a process for correcting the literature and provides a barrier to the dissemination of publications that include major faults or false-misleading data. The aim of this study was to examine the characteristics of retracted articles in the biomedical field sourced from Turkey. Methods In this descriptive cross-sectional study, all retracted publications from Turkey on PubMed were listed without date restriction. Data covering the article title, authors, publication date, retraction date, time between publication and retraction dates (in months), journal, article type, country of the corresponding author, peer review timeline (in days), reason for retraction, and subject area of the retracted item were recorded. Citation data were obtained using the Scopus database. The altmetric attention scores of the articles were recorded. Results A total of 102 articles were listed and after the implementation of exclusion criteria, 86 articles were included for analysis. The first retracted article was published in 2000 (n = 1), while the most retracted articles were published in 2020 (n = 11). The median time lag between publication and retraction was 10.33 (0.73–144.06) months. The main factors causing retraction were plagiarism (n = 23), duplication (n = 22) and error (n = 17). The total number of citations was 695. A total of 224 citations were in the pre-retraction period and 471 citations were in the post-retraction period. Conclusion The retracted article counts showed a rising trend over the years. The leading causes of retraction for articles from Turkey were plagiarism, duplication, and error. It was found that the articles continued to be cited after the retraction. Researchers in Turkey should be educated on retraction, particularly plagiarism and duplication. Strategies should be developed to prevent articles from being cited after retraction.

“…La littérature scientifique constitue, en quelque sorte, un recueil historique témoignant du cheminement de nos connaissances (Coudert, 2019 ;Steen, 2011). Dans une société de plus en plus mondialisée, la diffusion de ces connaissances est cruciale pour assurer un avancement efficace de la science et des pratiques (Palla et al, 2020 ;Rosenkrantz, 2016).…”

Les rétractations d’articles sont le dernier recours de la science pour assurer sa crédibilité. Cette étude souhaite identifier les raisons qui poussent les chercheurs à investiguer les rétractations dans leur champ de recherche. Pour ce faire, une revue de littérature et une analyse qualitative de celle-ci sont menées. Les résultats montrent que 70 % des études sur les rétractations ont été menées dans le domaine des sciences naturelles et médicales. Huit raisons de s’y intéresser sont identifiées, les plus fréquentes étant l’impact négatif sur la recherche et la pratique, la haute médiatisation des cas de fraude et le nombre annuel élevé de publications. Les résultats contribuent à justifier la prévalence de ces études en sciences naturelles et médicales, mais soulèvent la nécessité de réaliser des études supplémentaires et d’établir des bases de données compréhensives dans les autres champs de recherche pour assurer la qualité de la recherche scientifique.

“…Biomedical journal editors, particularly those who process submissions from non-Anglophone countries and emerging professional societies, should implement mechanisms to increase the awareness of the ICMJE criteria and avoid instances of unethical authorship [14]. In this regard, an analysis of 296 names listed as authors of a top Iranian journal demonstrated that 37% of them did not meet the ICMJE criteria ("guest" authors) [15].…”

The International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) proposed the authorship criteria which can be employed by medics and allied specialists. Scholars who substantively contribute to research and writing, revise, approve final drafts for target journal submissions, and take responsibility for all aspects of the work deserve authorship. Increasing awareness of the ICMJE criteria, incorporating related points in journal instructions, and enforcing them in daily practice may have positive impact for healthcare. Instances of inappropriate authorship are ethical transgressions which can be avoided by editors employing strategies of author profile evaluations. There are several platforms for recording author accomplishments which may improve the discoverability of scholarly works and prevent unethical conduct. <br /> Most publishers advise authors to submit their Open Researcher and Contributor IDs (ORCID) at the manuscript submission. Other identifiers, such as Twitter handles, are also emerging as tools to stimulate post-publication communication and increase authors’ accountability for published articles.
