Web of Science数据库被撤销论文特征分析及启示

Characteristic analysis and corresponding inspirations of retracted articles in Web of Science

文章分析了Web of Science(WoS)数据库中被撤销论文的时间特征分布、空间特征分布、被引特征和相关性特征,发现WoS数据库被撤销论文共计6347篇,平均撤销时滞为40.67个月。撤销论文分布在103个国家的2008种出版物中,较为分散。所有文献总计被引次数158010次,篇均引用次数24.9次。撤销论文被引频次与期刊影响因子显著正相关(r=0.453,P=0.000),期刊撤销论文数量与影响因子无显著相关性(r=-0.116,P=0.682),撤销时滞与被引频次显著正相关(r=0.231,P=0.000)。

This paper analyzes the distribution of temporal features,distribution of spatial features,cited features and relevance features of retracted papers in the Web of Science(WoS),a total of 6347 retracted papers are found in WoS,with an average withdrawal time lag of 40.67 months.These papers are distributed among 103 countries.These papers are distributed among the 2008 publications,which are relatively scattered.The total citations of all the literatures are 15,8010 times,and the average number of citations as 24.9.There is a significant positive correlation between citation times of retracted papers and journal impact factors(r=0.453,P=0.000),and the number of retracted papers is uncorrelated with the impact factor(r=-0.116,P=0.682).The withdrawal time lag is significantly positively correlated with the number of citation times of retracted papers(r=0.231,P=0.000).
