This study explored national differences in plagiarism and duplicate publication in retracted biomedical literature. The national affiliations of authors and reasons for retraction of papers accessible through PubMed that were published from 2008 to 2012 and subsequently retracted were determined in order to identify countries with the largest numbers and highest rates of retraction due to plagiarism and duplicate publication. Authors from more than fifty countries retracted papers. While the United States retracted the most papers, China retracted the most papers for plagiarism and duplicate publication. Rates of plagiarism and duplicate publication were highest in Italy and Finland, respectively. Unethical publishing practices cut across nations.
本研究探讨了撤回的生物医学文献中剽窃和重复发表方面的国家差异。确定了2008年至2012年发表并随后撤回的、可通过PubMed获取的论文的作者国籍及撤回原因，以识别因剽窃和重复发表而撤回论文数量最多及比率最高的国家。来自五十多个国家的作者有论文被撤回。虽然美国撤回的论文最多，但中国因剽窃和重复发表而撤回的论文最多。剽窃率和重复发表率分别在意大利和芬兰最高。不道德的出版行为在各国都存在。
