Investigating the Effect of the Nature of Access to Articles in Retracted Them: A Case Study of Iranian Researchers' Scholarly Production
Article retraction is a sustainable tool to protect the authenticity of scientific texts. The aim of this study was to compare the nature of open access and non-open access articles with the retraction rate of Iranian researchers.
This applied descriptive study was carried out using scientometric indicators. The research population was the retracted articles by Iranian researchers during the period from 2000 to 2021 in the Web of Science Core Collection database (313 articles).
The number of retracted articles was 313, which has increased in recent years. However, the ratio of retracted articles to total articles has not increased. The results also showed that after the date of retraction, although the number of citations of publications with both accesses decreased, the probability of open access articles being cited after retraction was about 1.1 times that of non-open access articles.
Retracted open access articles are about 1.2 times more likely to be cited compared to non-open access articles.
