Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers and scientists alike have been studying the causes, transmission, and origin of the coronavirus. Due to such rapid dissemination of COVID-19 information and the unusually high rates of article retraction, concerns regarding the accuracy of data and results have been raised.

Dissemination of COVID-19 Information through Academic Research and Publications

A published piece of scientific work can be rescinded, or retracted, when its data is called into question due to fabrication, falsification, or severe flaws in research design. This formal process alerts the scientific community to serious problems with the original study. A retraction can be initiated by the study's lead researcher, their research collaborators, their employing institution, or the editorial board of the publishing journal.
