To identify the characteristics of retracted publications in rehabilitation and sport sciences journals.
The Web of Science, PubMed, and Retraction Watch databases were searched from inception to August 2019.
Retracted publications published in rehabilitation or sport sciences journals, indexed in the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) and Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) were included.
One author extracted the data. Two other authors checked the data.
A total of 37 and 52 retracted publications and their retraction notices were identified for rehabilitation and sport sciences, respectively. The majority of retracted publications (68% of all retracted papers in rehabilitation and 54% of all retracted papers in sport sciences) were published in the past decade. Retracted publications in rehabilitation and sport sciences were published in 21 and 22 different journals and originated from 18 and 21 different countries, respectively. The full-text of the retracted publications was available with a retraction watermark or note for 59% of cases in rehabilitation and 58% in sport sciences. The reasons for the retractions were more often attributed to misconduct (79% and 61%) than to honest error (21% and 39%) in rehabilitation and sport sciences, respectively. However, a reason was not stated for 15% of the publications. The median time interval between publication and retraction was 622 days in rehabilitation and 607 days in sport sciences publications.
The total number of retracted publications in rehabilitation and sport sciences journals was small. The retracted publications have been published in a variety of rehabilitation and sport sciences journals and came from different countries across the world. Several retracted publications and retraction notices failed to adhere to The Committee on Publication Ethics guidelines in the handling of full-text (retain with a watermark or note) or stating the underlying reasons for the retraction.
识别康复和运动科学期刊中撤回出版物的特征。
从创刊到 2019 年 8 月，在 Web of Science、PubMed 和 Retraction Watch 数据库中进行了检索。
纳入康复或运动科学期刊中发表的、被科学引文索引扩展版（SCIE）和社会科学引文索引（SSCI）收录的撤回出版物。
一位作者提取数据。另外两位作者检查数据。
分别为康复和运动科学领域确定了 37 篇和 52 篇撤回出版物及其撤回通知。撤回出版物的大部分（康复领域所有撤回论文的 68%和运动科学领域所有撤回论文的 54%）发表于过去十年。康复和运动科学领域的撤回出版物发表在 21 种和 22 种不同的期刊上，分别来自 18 个和 21 个不同的国家。康复领域 59%和运动科学领域 58%的撤回出版物的全文都有撤回水印或注释。在康复和运动科学领域，撤回的原因更多地归因于不当行为（分别为 79%和 61%），而不是诚实错误（分别为 21%和 39%）。然而，有 15%的出版物没有说明原因。发表与撤回之间的中位时间间隔为康复领域 622 天，运动科学领域 607 天。
康复和运动科学期刊中撤回出版物的总数较少。撤回出版物发表在各种康复和运动科学期刊上，来自世界各地不同的国家。一些撤回出版物和撤回通知在处理全文（保留水印或注释）或说明撤回的根本原因方面未能遵守出版道德委员会的准则。
