Retractions Don’t Affect Everyone Equally

A study was conducted where 500 papers published between 1993 and 2009 which had multiple authors and that had been retracted.

Retraction, a potentially career-damaging blow in academia, happens when there is ample evidence that a paper fabricated data, plagiarized the work of others, committed a major error, or had other serious problems.

The researchers found that the more eminent members of the team typically continued to be cited like the control group, a sign that their work was still respected. Their less well-known collaborators saw their citations dip below the control group.
