Retraction is a mechanism for eliminating and correcting serious problems in the scientific literature and increasing awareness among members of the scientific community about unreliable literature. The objectives of this study were to identify the characteristics and reasons for retraction, analyze citations, and describe the scientific, altmetrics, and technological impacts of hematology retracted papers. Retracted papers were searched using the hematology category of the Web of Science database. The search yielded 101 retracted papers in WoS. Statistics methods such as frequency, mean, interquartile range (IQR), and Pearson's Correlation were used for data analysis. The findings showed the retracted papers were published in 28 different hematology journals. The majority of retracted documents were in Article type (n = 81). The mean time interval of the retracted papers from the first publication to retraction was 50.83 months. The largest number of retracted papers belonged to the United States (n = 46). The most frequently reported reason for retraction was misconduct (n = 55). The findings of this study provide a landscape into the characteristics and citations of retracted papers before and after retraction in addition to the scientific, technological, and altmetrics impacts of hematology retracted papers in the scientific community.
撤稿是一种消除和纠正科学文献中严重问题的机制，旨在提高科学界成员对不可靠文献的认识。本研究的目的是确定撤稿的特征和原因，分析引文，并描述血液学撤稿论文的科学、altmetrics 和技术影响。使用 Web of Science 数据库的血液学类别搜索撤稿论文。该搜索在 WoS 中产生了 101 篇撤稿论文。使用频率、平均值、四分位距 (IQR) 和 Pearson 相关等统计方法进行数据分析。研究结果表明，撤稿论文发表在 28 种不同的血液学期刊上。大多数撤稿文献为文章类型 (n = 81)。从首次发表到撤稿的撤稿论文的平均时间间隔为 50.83 个月。撤稿论文数量最多的是美国 (n = 46)。撤稿的最常见原因是不当行为 (n = 55)。本研究的结果提供了一幅图景，展示了血液学撤稿论文在科学界的特征和撤稿前后的引文，以及血液学撤稿论文的科学、技术和 altmetrics 影响。
