I previously made a big list of papers that were retracted due to software bugs. It was intended to go in a manuscript but I had to cut it out because the conference limited the number of references for the camera-ready version. If anyone is interested I can try to dig up the list again!
- Yoric 7y agoThat sounds interesting, yes.
- trombonechamp 7y agoSome of these links go directly to the retracted paper, some go to the retraction notice (where available), and some go to reports of software bugs which impacted others' results but didn't cause any retractions. This list is of course incomplete, but here are a few, mostly pulled from Retraction Watch: https://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nbt0308-274 https://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nbt0308-274 https://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0038234 https://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0038234 https://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.0030158 https://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.0030158 https://dx.doi.org/10.1126/science.314.5807.1875b https://dx.doi.org/10.1126/science.314.5807.1875b https://dx.doi.org/10.1186/1471-2105-5-80 https://dx.doi.org/10.1186/1471-2105-5-80 https://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nm0610-618a https://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nm0610-618a https://dx.doi.org/10.1093/bioinformatics/btx811 https://dx.doi.org/10.1093/bioinformatics/btx811 https://dx.doi.org/10.1200/jco.2015.62.0294 https://dx.doi.org/10.1200/jco.2015.62.0294 https://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41562-018-0507-0 https://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41562-018-0507-0 https://dx.doi.org/10.1177/0022146515595817 https://dx.doi.org/10.1177/0022146515595817 https://dx.doi.org/10.1021/acs.orglett.9b03216 https://dx.doi.org/10.1021/acs.orglett.9b03216 https://dx.doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1602413113 https://dx.doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1602413113 https://dx.doi.org/10.1093/cje/bet075 https://dx.doi.org/10.1093/cje/bet075 https://dx.doi.org/10.1001/jama.2019.11954 https://dx.doi.org/10.1001/jama.2019.11954 https://dx.doi.org/10.1126/science.314.5807.1856 https://dx.doi.org/10.1126/science.314.5807.1856
- sdenton4 7y agoSounds great for the arxiv! In fact, I would treat the retracted papers more like a data set than things to be cited. Then you get a nice paper with counts and statements about common themes, and references on those themes. Then post the dataset as supplementary material available on the arxiv.
- sjf 7y agoGood point, and by not citing the flawed papers you are not inflating their academic pagerank.
- juliendorra 7y agoI would be very interested!
