How has ACS Webinars benefited you?
®
“ACS Webinars present just the right amount of chemistry
on a topic and in just the right amount of time to round
out my knowledge on a subject of interest to me. I Love
these Webinars - nowhere else could I get this level of
instruction by experts in their field live or through a
recorded session. This makes for a very happy
chemist/toxicologist and ACS member.”

What Happens to Retracted Papers’ Citations?
Budd et al, 1999:
• Retracted articles received more than 2,000 post-retraction citations; less than 8% of citations acknowledged the retraction
• Preliminary study of the present data shows that continued citation remains a problem
• Of 391 citations analyzed, only 6% acknowledge the retraction

Do Journals Get the Word Out?
“Journals often fail to alert the naïve reader; 31.8% of retracted papers were not noted as retracted in any way.”
27
The Euphemisms
“unattributed overlap”
an “approach”
“a duplicate of a paper that has already been published”…by other authors
“significant originality issue”
“Some sentences…are directly taken from other papers, which could be viewed as a form of plagiarism”

Is this a useful retraction notice?
Audience Survey Question
29
ANSWER THE QUESTION ON SCREEN
• Yes, why go into the details • Neither Yes nor No, it should be left to the journal’s
discretion • No, we need to know why it was withdrawn
“This article has been withdrawn by the authors.” -Journal of Biological Chemistry

Which statement reflects your experience with retracted literature?
Audience Survey Question
48
ANSWER THE QUESTION ON SCREEN
• I’ve never seen a retraction notice
• I’ve seen a retraction notice but did not understand what it meant
• I’ve seen a retraction notice that forced me to change my thinking about some research
4/16/2015
25
Purpose of Retractions
• Clearly and rationally correct the literature
• Insure integrity of scientific record
• Alert readers to
redundant publication
• They are not punishment for misconduct
• Must not be defamatory or libelous
Lessons Learned:
Retractions Should Always
• Identify article and link to it
• Be clearly identified as retraction
• Be published promptly
• Be freely available (no paywall!)
• State the reasons for retraction
• State who is retracting (author, editor)
• Avoid defamatory statements
