Abstract:

[Purposes] The retraction time lag can reflect the purification time of the scientific community. Analyzing the influencing factors of time lags can provide a reference for reducing the retraction time lag. [Methods] We collected a total of 17916 papers from 1970 to 2022 from the Retraction Watch database. Using time to retract as the dependent variable, we selected 33 variables as independent variables from the dimensions of policy, paper, and author as dependent variables to construct a regression model and analyzed the influence of different factors on the retraction time lag. [Findings] Research papers, publication dates, image problems, paper factories, and meta-analyses are the main factors influencing the retraction time lag, and the research integrity policy does not affect it. [Conclusions] It is suggested to strengthen the awareness of the integrity of image problems, optimize the paper reporting mechanism, address the problem of paper factories, and pay attention to the integrity of scientific research teams of different scales.

摘要：

【目的】 分析能够反映科学界的净化时效的撤销时滞的影响因素，为缩短撤销时滞提供参考。【方法】 收集撤稿观察数据库1970—2022年共17916条论文数据，以撤销时滞为因变量，从政策、论文和作者维度选择33个变量作为自变量构建回归模型，分析不同因素对撤销时滞的影响。【结果】 研究论文、发表年份、图像问题、论文工厂和荟萃分析是撤销时滞的主要影响因素，科研诚信政策对撤销时滞无影响。【结论】 建议强化图像问题诚信意识，畅通论文举报机制，重视论文工厂问题并关注不同规模科研团队的诚信问题。
