Abstract

The retraction of health sciences publications is a growing concern. To understand the patterns in a particular country-context and design specific measures to address the problem, it is important to describe and characterize retractions. We aimed to assess the evolution of health science retractions in Brazil and Portugal and to describe their features. We conducted a cross-sectional study including all health sciences retracted articles with at least one author affiliated to a Portuguese or Brazilian institution identified through Retraction Watch database. A total of 182 retracted articles were identified. The number of retractions increased over time, but the proportion related to the whole of publications remained stable. A total of 50.0% and 60.8% of the Portuguese and Brazilian retracted articles, respectively, were published in first and second quartile journals. Scientific misconduct accounted for 60.1% and 55.9% of retractions in Brazil and Portugal. In both countries, the most frequent cause of misconduct was plagiarism. The time from publication to retraction decreases as the journal quartile increases. The retraction of health sciences articles did not decrease over time in Brazil and Portugal. There is a need to develop strategies aimed at preventing, monitoring and managing scientific misconduct according to the country context.

巴西和葡萄牙健康科学论文撤回的演变和特点。

撤回健康科学出版物是一个日益令人担忧的问题。为了了解特定国家背景下的模式并设计解决该问题的具体措施，描述和描述撤回的特征很重要。我们旨在评估巴西和葡萄牙卫生科学撤回的演变，并描述其特征。我们进行了一项横断面研究，包括所有健康科学撤回的文章，至少有一位作者隶属于通过撤回观察数据库确定的葡萄牙或巴西机构。共发现182篇撤回的文章。撤回的数量随着时间的推移而增加，但与整个出版物相关的比例保持稳定。葡萄牙和巴西撤回的文章分别有50.0%和60.8%发表在第一和第二四分位数期刊上。在巴西和葡萄牙，科学不端行为分别占撤回声明的60.1%和55.9%。在这两个国家，最常见的不当行为是剽窃。从发表到撤回的时间随着期刊四分位数的增加而减少。在巴西和葡萄牙，撤回健康科学文章的情况并没有随着时间的推移而减少。有必要根据国情制定旨在预防、监测和管理科学不端行为的战略。
