scientific misconduct takes longer to be retracted while administrative errors are corrected within 5 years or less
632 (64%) articles retracted because of ethical misconduct
311 (31%) articles retracted because of scientific distortion
52 (5%) articles retracted because of administrative reasons or for reasons that did not fit the other two categories
citations and reads continue to increase after retraction (in the four years, there were more than 30% increase of citations)
articles in the scientific distortion category receive more citations than other categories
