Research, Innovation, and Creative Scholarship Celebration Week: Retractions: On The Rise, But Not Enough

In 2000, there were about 40 retractions from the scholarly literature. In 2023, there were more than 10,000. That is a dramatic increase, even accounting for the growing number of papers published per year. In this talk, I will explore the reasons for the increase, why it is good news, and why the real number should be even higher — including in the social and behavioral sciences.
