Abstract:

Purpose: The most important mechanism applied to defective studies to preserve the integrity of science is the withdrawal of articles. The increase in the number of articles withdrawn for a variety of reasons is noticeable. In this study, it is intended to explore the parameters in these articles that harm scientific information. Method: The research has selected the first 100 magazines with the highest number of withdrawals in the Web of Science (WoS). From these selected magazines it was found that the 1934 article was withdrawn between 1978 and 2020. The questions to be answered in the study are: 1. What is the year or year in which the number of posts was the highest? 2nd Which magazine is the largest in the quarter? and 3. How is the distribution of the subjects? The fourth. In which countries/country is the number of returned articles greater? and 5. What is the time difference between the years in which the articles were published and withdrawn? The findings: The review found that the rate of withdrawal of articles increased over the years. Most of the articles (19,5%) were withdrawn a year after their publication. The most retreat in the articles was in the Q1 quarter magazines. In the topic distribution of the articles, the fields "Oncology" (17.2%) and "Biochemistry and Molecular Biology" (16.9%) were highlighted. The reference rate for articles published in Nature, Science and Journal of Biological Chemistry is 9%. The United States (USA), which ranked first in the country ranking, was also the country with the most reference (54 percent). Originality: It is known that the number of publications addressed to Turkey in literature is less about the subject. The current status and changes of the articles withdrawn in this direction have been examined. The result: The redirected articles that violate the scientific ethics have made it possible for all participants within the scientific communication system to be evaluated from different perspectives. The results of these publications, studied in the framework of various variables, showed that more publications on the subject should be made and solutions should be developed.
