lüll Retraction policies of high-impact biomedical journals Atlas MCJ Med Libr Assoc 2004[Apr]; 92 (2): 242-50PURPOSE: The purpose is to review the issue of retraction in the scientific literature and to examine the policies on retraction of major biomedical journals. METHOD: The historical background of this issue was investigated through a literature search. The Instructions to Authors of 122 major biomedical journals were reviewed for evidence of a policy on the retraction of articles. Editors of those journals with no mention of retraction in their Instructions to Authors were contacted by email and/or postal mail. RESULTS: Sixty-two percent of the journals investigated did not post or report having a policy on issuing retractions. Only twenty-one (18%) did. The remainder did not post any policy and did not respond to inquiries. DISCUSSION: Including policies in Instructions to Authors relating to the principled conduct of research and publication will improve the ethical environment in which the scientific community works.|*Authorship[MESH]|*Retraction of Publication as Topic[MESH]|Biomedical Research[MESH]|Clinical Competence[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Journalism, Medical/*standards[MESH]|Periodicals as Topic/*standards[MESH]|Professional Role[MESH]|United States[MESH] |
