Introduction:
Retrospection of retracted articles has important implications for research into the ethics of academic publishing.
Methods:
A search was performed of the Retraction Watch database for retracted articles in the field of gastroenterology.

A total of 583 retractions were included and around 76 percent were retracted since 2015. Over half of the retractions focused on digestive system neoplasms. Issues of reliability of the contents, duplication and plagiarism were common reasons for retraction.
Discussion:
Only a few retractions were due to honest errors, while many articles were retracted by authors due to committing some kind of misconduct.
