看到论坛里有这样的奇谈怪论着实吃惊不小。

先谈谈撤稿的原因吧。特别是像韩春雨发表的这样的有影响的期刊。

首先没有一个作者会主动撤搞。都是编辑要你撤的。但是编辑会和你商量。如果作者同意，在这种情况下期刊会发布公告，作者和期刊达成协议同意作者撤搞。

撤搞的两大类原因：

1.诚实的人为因素错误。例如，实验数据和统计分析错误。

2.学术行为不端。比如数据作假，有利益关系，缺乏遵守道德规范，剽窃等。

后者2的坏影响大于前者1。

There are two broad reasons for retraction: (1) honest human error, for example, an error in the experimental data or statistical analysis, or (2) academic misconduct, for example data fabrication, failure to disclose conflicts of interest, lack of adherence to ethical protocols, and plagiarism. As you can expect, the latter cases, which are unfortunately increasing in incidence, are more grave than the former. Cases of misconduct not only severely compromise the value of scientific literature but also adversely affect the concerned researchers’ academic standing and career advancement prospects.

撤稿对作者的影响？

研究表明，撤搞会对作者声誉产生影响。作者将来的文章的被引用率会下降10%～20%。但对韩春雨这样的无名作者，影响是将来也许没有学者愿意引用他的文章。因为他不可信。缺乏信用。撤搞不是作者严谨，而是被迫无奈。要知道期刊撤搞不是对作者惩罚，而是为了维护期刊声誉。撤搞对期刊声誉也是有负面影响的。撤搞说明文章达不到期刊原先要求的质量。希望韩春雨的错误属于第一类诚实的人为因素错误。就是他承认实验数据有问题。但并不能说明他是严谨的科学家。恰恰说明他急功近利不严谨。这种撤搞说明作者是严谨科学家的奇谈怪论可以休矣。

While the journal retraction rate seems to be on the rise, remember that journals do not benefit from retracting papers: in fact, frequent retraction notices can reduce a journal’s reputation and make readers question the journal’s pre-publication peer review process. So in the present case, I would request you to partner with the journal editor and allow the retraction of your paper. In subsequent grant applications, be honest and show the journal’s retraction notice so that the grant committee can know that your retraction was due to honest error and not misconduct. Finally, keep pursuing good science and aim to publish high-quality studies. Your research efforts and the quality of your work should speak for itself to overcome any negative impact of a retraction due to honest error.
