摘要:

【目的】探讨我国学者被撤销论文在国际上的总体位置与严重程度。【方法】从国际网站RetractionWatch上搜集与统计撤销论文公告数的有关情况,从作者类型、国别、期刊、撤销论文原因等方面进行了统计分析。另外分析了各发文大国撤销论文数与万篇发文量的相关性及二者比值(定义为撤销发文比,RPR)。【结果】在撤销论文公告数量中,美国高居榜首,中国居第2位,各国发文数与撤销论文数相关系数达0.968(P<0.001)。各发文大国RPR均数为1.60,排在前3位的为荷兰、印度和美国,我国排第11位。从撤销论文原因看,前5位分别为图像造假、抄袭剽窃、重复发表、数据造假和结果不可重复。涉及期刊较多,知名期刊的撤销论文数比普通期刊多。【结论】因被撤销论文多为造假或错误论文,影响巨大且久远,所以期刊界必须提高防范学术不端论文的意识与能力,并与政府部门、科学共同体等一起共同构建好集防范与惩治为一体的治理学术不端行为的制度与体系。

Abstract:

[Purposes]This paper aims to learn the position and severity of Chinese retracted articles in theworld.[Methods]Data were collected from the website RetractionWatch which was specialized to collect all kinds of article retraction information and to distribute its posts.This paper made analysis on the aspects of author, country, journal, and retraction reason.Based on the numbers of published articles referenced,the Pearson correlation coefficients of the article numbers of retracted and published ones were calculated, and RPR(retraction-publication ratio) was descripted as the ratio of retracted articles number and published articles number 10 4.[Findings]As for the country type, USA owns the most retraction posts, and China follows.The number of retraction posts is correlated highly with the number of published articles(r=0.968, P<0.001).Themean RPR is 1.60, and top 3 belong to Netherland, India, and USA, while China ranks the 11th.As the reasons of retraction, image manipulation,plagiarism,duplication,faked data,and not reproducible occupy the top 5.Lots of journals are concerned in the retraction,and the retraction numbers of the well-known journals are more than normal journals.[Conclusions]The retraction articles have built-in errors, and can critically and negatively influence the future for a long time.Therefore, periodical circles should improve their ability and consciousness to find and prevent m isconduct in academ ic manuscripts,together with the government and scientific community to construct the administration architecture and system to prevent and punish the academ ic misconduct.
