最新“撤稿引用数世界纪录榜单”再次刷新,大佬再难逃撤稿命运

你有没有好奇哪些被撤回论文的被引用量最多?下面就给大家列列截止到最近的撤稿文献被引用量排名TOP 10。相信大家可能会看到老面孔,例如安德鲁·韦克菲尔德(Andrew Wakefield)臭名昭著的《柳叶刀》(Lancet)论文,该论文最早提出“自闭症和儿童疫苗之间存在联系”。还有个很奇怪有趣的现象:许多论文(包面排名中被引用次数第二高的论文)在被撤回后反而继续被更多次数地引用,正可谓“遗臭万年”啊。
还有一篇文章,题目为“ Selective killing of cancer cells by a small molecule targeting the stress response to ROS”. (ROS靶向应激反应的小分子选择性杀死癌细胞)NATURE July 14, 2011. (by: Lakshmi Raj, Takao Ide, Aditi U. Gurkar, Michael Foley, Monica Schenone, Xiaoyu Li, Nicola J. Tolliday, Todd R. Golub, Steven A. Carr, Alykhan F. Shamji, Andrew M. Stern, Anna Mandinova, Stuart L. Schreiber, Sam W. Lee。虽然很“可惜”错过了TOP 10,仅排在第11位,历史总被引用量达670次,但它曾经被Clarivate Analytics定义为“高引用率论文”,也就是意味着它在过去10年中在其相关领域所有论文的被引用率中排名前1%。
下面是具体TOP 10榜单,附撤稿原因:

看过这个排行榜之后,大家肯定会问:如何知道一篇文献是否被撤稿呢?其实撤稿文章一般会在各个地方被体现出来:
①pubmed时会检索出原文章和题目为retraction-原题目的文章
②官网内搜该文也会有提示;
③国外专业论文打假网站retraction watch,可以说是相当的敬业了。在该网站里检索关键词,就可以知道这篇论文是否被撤稿。
学术不端、伪造数据…这些行为可能满足了个人或机构研究所的一己私利,但是从全人类角度来说,伪造的数据会将人类科学引入到错误的前进路线上,而再回头可能就是好多年了,所以希望所有的科研工作者、高等院校学生们及医生们,能够杜绝学术不端行为,从个人做起。
