The aim of this study was to determine how many papers have been retracted or withdrawn, and for what reason, in journals relating to plastic surgery.PubMed and SCOPUS were used, with the search terms (retracted OR withdrawn) AND (article OR publication OR paper) AND {(plastic surgery) OR (cosmetic surgery) OR (maxillofacial surgery) OR (craniofacial surgery)}. The papers were analyzed and classified according to the reason for retraction or withdrawal, journal name, publication year, and author. In the PubMed and SCOPUS, 227 and 114 titles were found, respectively, from which 34 duplicate titles were removed. An additional 261 titles which did not include "retracted" or "withdrawn" were removed, leaving 46 papers and 6 mined papers were added. The 52 full texts (42 "retracted" and 10 "withdrawn") were analyzed.The most frequent reason for retraction or withdrawal was duplication (17, 32.7%) followed by the author's request (9, 17.3%), plagiarism (7, 13.5%), and lack of permission (5, 9.6%). Retraction was most common in Plast Reconstr Surg (6, 12%) followed by Aesthetic Plast Surg (4, 7.9%), Ann Plast Surg (2, 3.9%), J Plast Reconstr Aesthet Surg (2, 3.9%), and Surg Res (2, 3.9%). Most authors retracted a paper just once; however, 6 authors retracted a paper twice or more. The first retraction was found in 1991, and the number of retractions showed a tendency to increase over time. However, the duplication rate did not change over time (R = 0.178, P = 0.117).Journal reviewers, as well as production editors, should check for duplication, plagiarism, or permission-related problems.
本研究的目的是确定整形外科学术期刊中有多少论文被撤回或撤稿，以及原因是什么。使用了PubMed和SCOPUS数据库，检索词为（撤回或撤稿）且（文章或出版物或论文）且{（整形手术）或（美容手术）或（颌面外科手术）或（颅面外科手术）}。根据撤稿或撤稿原因、期刊名称、出版年份和作者对论文进行分析和分类。在PubMed和SCOPUS中，分别找到了227个和114个标题，其中删除了34个重复标题。另外删除了261个不包含“撤回”或“撤稿”的标题，剩下46篇论文，并补充了6篇挖掘出的论文。对52篇全文（42篇“撤回”和10篇“撤稿”）进行了分析。撤稿或撤稿最常见的原因是重复（17篇，32.7%），其次是作者要求（9篇，17.3%）、抄袭（7篇，13.5%）和未经许可（5篇，9.6%）。撤稿在《整形与重建外科》中最为常见（6篇，12%），其次是《美容整形外科》（4篇，7.9%）、《整形外科学年鉴》（2篇，3.9%）、《整形与重建美学外科杂志》（2篇，3.9%）和《外科研究杂志》（2篇，3.9%）。大多数作者只撤回过一篇论文；然而，有6位作者撤回过两篇或更多论文。首次撤稿出现在1991年，撤稿数量呈随时间增加的趋势。然而，重复率并未随时间变化（R = 0.178，P = 0.117）。期刊审稿人以及出版编辑应检查是否存在重复、抄袭或与许可相关的问题。
