Self-correction of science: a comparative study of negative citations and post-publication peer review

Frédérique Bordignon
1

Abstract: This study investigates whether negative citations in articles and comments posted on post-publication peer review platforms are both equally contributing to the correction of science. These 2 types of written evidence of disputes are compared by analyzing their occurrence in relation to articles that have already been retracted or corrected. We identified retracted or corrected articles in a corpus of 72,069 articles coming from the Engineering field, from 3 journals (Science, Tumor Biology, Cancer Research) … Show more

“…In addition, we noticed that the negative perception of a retracted work, although limited in the data we have, happened before its retraction if the cited entity had a low affinity to the humanities domain. The fact that we reported few negative citations in P-Post is consistent with other studies (Bordignon, 2020;Luwel et al, 2019;Schneider et al, 2020).…”

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.

“…Interestingly, Bordignon (2020) reported that retracted/corrected papers did not receive more negative citations than nonretracted/corrected papers. Bordignon’s (2020) finding echoes ours in that retracted papers are not cited differently before and after the retraction. As for RQ3, our textual analysis of the postretraction citation contexts shows that only a limited proportion (5.4%) of postretraction citation contexts acknowledged the retraction.…”

“…For RQ2, the similar distributions of text progression of preretraction and postretraction citation contexts imply that the purpose for citing retraction papers did not change much before or after retraction. Interestingly, Bordignon (2020) reported that retracted/corrected papers did not receive more negative citations than nonretracted/corrected papers. Bordignon’s (2020) finding echoes ours in that retracted papers are not cited differently before and after the retraction.…”

“…Poole contends that publication should mark the beginning, not the end, of the peer review process (Poole, 1996). Advocates of PPPR also point out that pre-publication peer review cannot identify all methodological weaknesses or instances of scientific misconduct (Bordignon, 2020). PPPR provides ongoing opportunities for issues to be addressed.…”
