Abstract: In this article, we show and discuss the results of a quantitative and qualitative analysis of open citations to retracted publications in the humanities domain. Our study was conducted by selecting retracted papers in the humanities domain and marking their main characteristics (e.g., retraction reason). Then, we gathered the citing entities and annotated their basic metadata (e.g., title, venue, etc.) and the characteristics of their in-text citations (e.g., intent, sentiment, etc.). Using these data, we per… Show more

“…Such myths have been demonstrated to arise and proliferate by quotation error (Wetterer, 2006) and subsist even despite citing authors also citing the refuting publications in the same article, a phenomenon that Letrud & Hernes (2019) call affirmative citation bias. In a similar vein, studies on retractions find consistently that retracted articles continue to be cited after retraction without change and that the retraction is very rarely acknowledged (Heibi & Peroni, 2022;Hsiao & Schneider, 2021). In both cases, it seems probable that the cited studies have not actually been read and understood.…”

Exaggerated anticipatory anxiety is common in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Neuroimaging studies have revealed altered neural activity in response to social stimuli in SAD, but fewer studies have examined neural activity during anticipation of feared social stimuli in SAD. The current study examined the time course and magnitude of activity in threat processing brain regions during speech anticipation in socially anxious individuals and healthy controls (HC). Method Participants (SAD n = 58; HC n = 16) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during which they completed a 90s control anticipation task and 90s speech anticipation task.

“…However, it is clear from the reported studies that the reasons for retraction are different in the humanities than in the medical and natural sciences. Fabrication of data is much less common, and the dominant reasons for contractions are plagiarism and duplicate publication (Halevi, 2020; Heibi & Peroni, 2022). However, the pattern of citations of retracted articles is very similar to that in biomedicine.…”

“…No indication of a post‐retraction decline in the number of citations could be found. The vast majority of post‐retraction citations were positive, and only 2.25% of them mentioned the retraction (Heibi & Peroni, 2022).…”

“…Quantitative analysis refers to the in-depth analysis of public opinion events through quantitative means, including the measurement of indicators such as event scale, dissemination speed, social media influence, as well as the statistics and data analysis of event related information. By quantitatively analyzing and quantifying the impact of an event, it is possible to better understand the severity of the event and propose corresponding strategies [19][20].…”
