Other than detecting impact in advance, alternative metrics could act as early warning signs of retractions: tentative findings of a study into the papers retracted by PLoS ONE results - Which alternative metrics are related to the probability of a paper being retracted or not?
- Concluded from the binary logistic regression coefficients that the number of peer review website comments are indicative of future retractions
- Mentions on blogs, news outlets, and Wikipedia less informative
- Most papers mentioned on peer review sites have been retracted, but not every paper commented in review sites will be retracted
- Other than views and downloads, retractions still largely depend on platform and the audiences that they attract
- Attention is one of the key indicators of retractions, but retracted papers do not necessarily have more total views than non-retracted papers
