Abstract:

[Purposes] This paper analyzes the trend of the citation attitudes of articles to the retracted papers of cardiac stem cell from Harvard University and explores the reasons, which is expected to serve as a reference for the prevention and management of retractions by scientific journals and scientific research management departments. [Methods] On the basis of previous studies, we constructed a marking framework and rolled out related marking rules for marking and descriptive analysis of the citation attitudes of 2314 articles to the retracted papers. Finally, we discussed the findings. [Findings] Different citation attitudes showed different temporal variations. Most scholars were objective and prudent to the research content of the retracted papers. In addition, more and more scholars began to question the retracted papers as time went by. [Conclusions] We recommend full-text citation analysis for the prediction and prevention of papers with academic misconducts. Moreover, great attention should be paid to the articles and authors that hold extremely positive attitudes towards papers retracted due to academic misconducts and articles which questioned the retracted papers should be emphasized. In addition, the retracted papers-induced academic misconducts should be tracked.

Key words: Retracted paper, Research integrity, Citation attitude, Citation content analysis

摘要:

【目的】 分析哈佛大学心脏干细胞事件撤销论文施引文献引用态度的变化轨迹,深入探究其背后原因,为科技期刊和科研管理部门对撤稿事件的预防与治理提供参考。【方法】 在借鉴前人研究的基础上,构建出适合的引用态度标记体系和标记规则,对2314篇施引文献的引用态度进行标记和描述统计,并在研究发现的基础上展开相关讨论。【结果】 不同引用态度呈现出不同的时序变化特征,大部分学者对撤销论文的引用态度是客观谨慎的,并且随着时间推移,越来越多的研究人员加入到质疑队伍中。【结论】 建议将全文本引文分析引入到科研不端论文的预测与防治中,关注对科研不端撤稿论文持极端肯定态度的文章和作者,期刊要重视提出质疑声音的文献,并尝试追踪学术论文的连环造假等。
