Systematic Error: Methodological and Sampling Errors

Systematic Error: Methodological and Sampling Errors

In the case of systematic errors, the sources can be identified, and the errors can be subsequently minimized by addressing these sources. According to the source, systematic errors can be divided into sampling, instrumental, methodological, and personal errors.
Sampling errors originate from improper sampling methods or the wrong sample population. These errors can be minimized by refining the sampling strategy. Defective instruments or faulty calibrations are the sources of instrumental...

Clot Retraction and Fibrinolysis

Clot Retraction and Fibrinolysis

After a fibrin clot is formed, the next step is clot retraction, a vital process facilitated by platelet contractile proteins, such as actin and myosin. These proteins pull the fibrin strands closer together and condense the clot. This action reduces the size of the clot, creating a smaller, denser structure that effectively seals off the damaged vessel. Clot retraction consolidates the clot and helps with wound healing by bringing the edges of the damaged blood vessel closer together.

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

Ethics in Research

Ethics in Research

Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.

Regression Toward the Mean

Regression Toward the Mean

Regression toward the mean (“RTM”) is a phenomenon in which extremely high or low values—for example, and individual’s blood pressure at a particular moment—appear closer to a group’s average upon remeasuring. Although this statistical peculiarity is the result of random error and chance, it has been problematic across various medical, scientific, financial and psychological applications. In particular, RTM, if not taken into account, can interfere when...

Accuracy and Errors in Hypothesis Testing

Accuracy and Errors in Hypothesis Testing

Hypothesis testing is a fundamental statistical tool that begins with the assumption that the null hypothesis H0 is true. During this process, two types of errors can occur: Type I and Type II. A Type I error refers to the incorrect rejection of a true null hypothesis, while a Type II error involves the failure to reject a false null hypothesis.
In hypothesis testing, the probability of making a Type I error, denoted as α, is commonly set at 0.05. This significance level indicates a 5%...

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Retracted scientific articles continue to be cited, undermining the retraction process. This study found that while some high-impact papers initially see fewer citations post-retraction, overall citations persist, impacting scientific integrity.

Area of Science:

Bibliometrics
Scientific Publishing
Research Integrity

Background:

Retracted articles continue to be cited, posing risks to the scientific community and public.
Understanding the citation patterns of retracted papers is crucial for maintaining scientific integrity.

Purpose of the Study:

To analyze the association between retraction and citations received by papers retracted due to misconduct.
To compare citation rates before and after retraction using two distinct post-retraction time frames.

Main Methods:

A quasiexperimental, pre-post evaluation study analyzed 304 retracted original articles and reviews from MEDLINE (2013-2015).
Citations were compared pre- and post-retraction, with analysis stratified by journal impact factor quartile and highly cited papers.

Main Results:

Overall, retracted articles received more citations post-retraction compared to pre-retraction.
Articles in top-quartile journals initially saw decreased citations post-retraction, but this effect was temporary.
Highly cited papers experienced a significant decrease in post-retraction citations.

Conclusions:

Retraction has no long-term association with citation counts, as retracted articles continue to be cited.
The persistence of citations for retracted papers suggests that retractions may be circumvented, potentially compromising scientific discourse.
