\"Retractions<\/p>\n

Article retraction in academic publishing means removal of a published article from the journal (both from online and print channels). This is a last resort for journals, who retract disputed papers both for deliberate fraud and honest errors by the researchers. Although still a relatively uncommon occurrence, article retractions in academic publishing have increased in the last decade by up to 10 folds1<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

It is unclear whether this is because malpractice has increased or because journals have become more watchful; the majority, however, favors the latter. Researchers, their institutions, and publishers all bear the brunt of retracted study, which also harms the reputation of the journals in the scientific community. If the misconduct is serious and involves an ethical breach involving human or animal subjects, the alleged research author(s) may lose their jobs, peer recognition and citations, funding opportunities, and scientific credibility2<\/sup>.<\/strong><\/p>\n
