Retraction policies of top scientific journals ranked by impact factor
Objective:
This study gathered information about the retraction policies of the top 200 scientific journals, ranked by impact factor.
Methods:
Editors of the top 200 science journals for the year 2012 were contacted by email.
Results:
One hundred forty-seven journals (74%) responded to a request for information. Of these, 95 (65%) had a retraction policy. Of journals with a retraction policy, 94% had a policy that allows the editors to retract articles without authors' consent.
Conclusions:
The majority of journals in this sample had a retraction policy, and almost all of them would retract an article without the authors' permission.
