Abstract:
[Purposes] This paper aims to explore the new characteristics of retracted papers, provide references for scientific journals to prevent academic misconduct, and promote the construction of publishing integrity. [Methods] The reasons for retracted papers in the Retraction Watch database from 2012 to 2018 were analyzed, and the responsible subjects and objects were classified and discussed. [Findings] In the digital environment, academic misconduct has new characteristics. Data, images, peer review, and signature are the main reasons for the retraction of papers. At the same time, the number of retracted papers which are investigated by scientific journals/publishers and related to peer reviewers increases year by year. [Conclusions] Scientific journals should formulate rules and regulations for data management, image processing, peer review, and author's signature according to these new characteristics.

摘要:
【目的】 分析被撤销论文的新特征,为科技期刊有针对性地提高学术质量,防范学术不端行为,加强出版诚信建设提供参考。【方法】 对撤稿观察数据库2012—2018年的撤销论文进行分析,依据撤稿原因,对撤销论文的责任主体、责任客体进行归类及讨论。【结果】 数字环境下,科技论文的学术不端行为呈现新特征,其中,数据、图像、同行评议和署名问题是论文被撤销的主要原因,也是学术质量审查的薄弱点,同时,被科技期刊/出版商调查、与评审专家相关的被撤论文数量呈逐年增长趋势。【结论】 科技期刊应针对这些新特征制定数据管理、图像处理、同行评议、作者署名的规范细则,加强编辑部的审查力度,推动出版诚信建设。
