Abstract

"Issues around capturing, acknowledging, classifying, and tracking retracted research are shared by academic institutions, publishing organizations, and the technology providers who support them. This cross-industry panel is a result from a Sloan-funded agenda-setting project, ""Reducing the Inadvertent Spread of Retracted Science: Shaping a Research and Implementation Agenda"" (Fall 2020). The project highlighted the need for cross-industry education to destigmatize the process of retracting articles and to manage the reputational impacts of retraction. Key takeaways from the project include the importance of making retraction information easy to find and use and the need for optimized retraction processes. The panel will highlight shared obstacles and opportunities in processing, documenting, and communicating retractions. Each panelist will describe what their organization/community is doing to create consistency around the management of retracted research. Panelists will describe problems and opportunities related to the acknowledgement and tracking of retracted research, including retraction discoverability, and avenues for making retraction metadata easy to find and share. We will highlight concrete examples of emerging cross-industry collaborations, such as a shared retraction taxonomy currently under development. The panel will also share resources for educating authors, editors, and other stakeholders about the importance of retraction, along with suggestions for implementation strategies in various institutional contexts and workflows."
