The aim of the present study is to identify retracted articles in the biomedical literature (co) authored by Indian authors and to examine the features of retracted articles. The PubMed database was searched to find the retracted articles in order to reach the goal. The search yielded 508 records and retrieved for the detailed analysis of: authorships and collaboration type, funding information, who retracts? journals and impact factors, and reasons for retraction. The results show that most of the biomedical articles retracted were published after 2010 and common reasons are plagiarism and fake data for retraction. More than half of the retracted articles were co-authored within the institutions and there is no repeat offender. 25% of retracted articles were published in the top 15 journals and 33% were published in the non-impact factor journals. Average time from publication to retraction is calculated to 2.86 years and retractions due to fake data takes longest period among the reasons. Majority of the funded research was retracted due to fake data whereas it is plagiarism for non-funded.

本研究的目的是识别由印度作者撰写的生物医学文献 (co) 中的撤回文章，并检查撤回文章的特征。搜索 PubMed 数据库以找到撤回的文章以达到目标。搜索产生了 508 条记录并检索到详细分析：作者身份和合作类型、资助信息、谁撤回？期刊和影响因子，以及撤稿原因。结果表明，大部分被撤稿的生物医学文章都是在 2010 年之后发表的，常见的原因是抄袭和撤稿的虚假数据。一半以上的撤稿是机构内部合着，没有屡犯者。25% 的撤稿文章发表在前 15 位期刊上，33% 发表在非影响因子期刊上。从发表到撤稿的平均时间计算为2.86年，其中假数据撤稿时间最长。大部分受资助的研究因虚假数据而被撤回，而非资助研究则为剽窃。
