This study aims to analyze 343 retraction notices indexed in the Scopus database, published in 2001-2019, related to scientific articles (co-)written by at least one author affiliated with an Iranian institution. In order to determine reasons for retractions, we merged this database with the database from Retraction Watch. The data were analyzed using Excel 2016 and IBM-SPSS version 24.0, and visualized using VOSviewer software. Most of the retractions were due to fake peer review (95 retractions) and plagiarism (90). The average time between a publication and its retraction was 591 days. The maximum time-lag (about 3,000 days) occurred for papers retracted due to duplicate publications; the minimum time-lag (fewer than 100 days) was for papers retracted due to ''unspecified cause'' (most of these were conference papers). As many as 48 (14%) of the retracted papers were published in two medical journals: Tumor Biology (25 papers) and Diagnostic Pathology (23 papers). From the institutional point of view, Islamic Azad University was the inglorious leader, contributing to over one-half (53.1%) of retracted papers. Among the 343 retraction notices, 64 papers pertained to international collaborations with researchers from mainly Asian and European countries; Malaysia having the most retractions (22 papers). Since most retractions were due to fake peer review and plagiarism, the peer review system appears to be a weak point of the submission/publication process; if improved, the number of retractions would likely drop because of increased editorial control.

伊朗作者撤回的论文:原因、期刊、时间滞后、隶属关系、合作

本研究旨在分析 2001 年至 2019 年在 Scopus 数据库中索引的 343 篇撤稿通知,这些通知与至少一名隶属于伊朗机构的作者(合着)撰写的科学文章相关。为了确定撤回的原因,我们将此数据库与 Retraction Watch 中的数据库合并。数据使用 Excel 2016 和 IBM-SPSS 24.0 版进行分析,并使用 VOSviewer 软件进行可视化。大多数撤稿是由于虚假同行评审(95 次撤稿)和抄袭(90 次)。从发表到撤稿的平均时间为 591 天。因重复发表而被撤稿的论文出现最大时滞(约3000天);最短时间滞后(少于 100 天)是由于“不明原因”而被撤回的论文(其中大部分是会议论文)。多达 48 篇(14%)被撤回的论文发表在两个医学期刊上:肿瘤生物学(25 篇论文)和诊断病理学(23 篇论文)。从机构的角度来看,伊斯兰阿扎德大学是不光彩的领导者,贡献了超过一半(53.1%)的撤稿论文。在 343 篇撤稿通知中,64 篇论文涉及与主要来自亚洲和欧洲国家的研究人员的国际合作;马来西亚的撤稿最多(22 篇论文)。由于大多数撤稿是由于虚假同行评审和抄袭,同行评审系统似乎是提交/发表过程的一个薄弱环节;如果改进,撤回的数量可能会因为编辑控制的增加而下降。肿瘤生物学(25 篇论文)和诊断病理学(23 篇论文)。从机构的角度来看,伊斯兰阿扎德大学是不光彩的领导者,贡献了超过一半(53.1%)的撤稿论文。在 343 篇撤稿通知中,64 篇论文涉及与主要来自亚洲和欧洲国家的研究人员的国际合作;马来西亚的撤稿最多(22 篇论文)。由于大多数撤稿是由于虚假同行评审和抄袭,同行评审系统似乎是提交/发表过程的一个薄弱环节;如果改进,撤回的数量可能会因为编辑控制的增加而下降。肿瘤生物学(25 篇论文)和诊断病理学(23 篇论文)。从机构的角度来看,伊斯兰阿扎德大学是不光彩的领导者,贡献了超过一半(53.1%)的撤稿论文。在 343 篇撤稿通知中,64 篇论文涉及与主要来自亚洲和欧洲国家的研究人员的国际合作;马来西亚的撤稿最多(22 篇论文)。由于大多数撤稿是由于虚假同行评审和抄袭,同行评审系统似乎是提交/发表过程的一个薄弱环节;如果改进,撤回的数量可能会因为编辑控制的增加而下降。在 343 篇撤稿通知中,64 篇论文涉及与主要来自亚洲和欧洲国家的研究人员的国际合作;马来西亚的撤稿最多(22 篇论文)。由于大多数撤稿是由于虚假同行评审和抄袭,同行评审系统似乎是提交/发表过程的一个薄弱环节;如果改进,撤回的数量可能会因为编辑控制的增加而下降。在 343 篇撤稿通知中,64 篇论文涉及与主要来自亚洲和欧洲国家的研究人员的国际合作;马来西亚的撤稿最多(22 篇论文)。由于大多数撤稿是由于虚假同行评审和抄袭,同行评审系统似乎是提交/发表过程的一个薄弱环节;如果改进,撤回的数量可能会因为编辑控制的增加而下降。
