[Purposes] This study aims to explore the differences in retraction reasons among different disciplines, journals with different influences, and different retraction time lags and provide references for Chinese scholars, scientific journals, and research management departments to actively solve paper retractions and academic misconduct based on the Retraction Watch database and Web of Science (WoS) database.
[Methods] Through Retraction Watch database, the data on retraction reasons, publication time, retraction time, disciplines, and journals of Chinese papers retracted by international journals between 2016 and 2020 were item-by-item searched and analyzed. Through Wos database, this paper searched JCR divisions of the journals in which the papers were retracted, and compared the retraction reasons of papers in different disciplines, journals with different influences, and different retraction time lags.
[Findings] The retraction reasons of Chinese scholars�papers in international journals are complex, and academic misconduct is the main reason, among which duplication/plagiarism is the most common problem. The main forms of academic misconduct are text duplication, data duplication, picture duplication, etc. There are statistically significant differences in the total retraction reasons and distribution of primary and secondary academic misconduct categories among different disciplines, journals with different influences, and different retraction time lags.
[Conclusions] International journals show different reasons for the retraction of Chinese scholars�papers. It is recommended to combine the relevant characteristics, pay continuous attention to the diversity and complexity of retraction reasons, increase the efforts to combat academic misconduct, focus on preventing the problem of duplication/plagiarism, and establish a sound system of relevant paper retraction.
