成本高昂的合作：科学欺诈对合著者职业生涯的影响
Costly Collaborations: The Impact of Scientific Fraud on Co-authors' Careers
摘要：
近年来，几起重大的科学造假案震惊了科学界。每年撤稿的数量也大幅增加，特别是在生物医学领域，科学不端行为占这些撤稿的一半以上。假设被撤回论文的合著者受到其同事不当行为的影响，本研究的目的是提供生物医学研究中撤回对合著者研究生涯影响的经验证据。使用来自Web of Science（WOS）的数据，我们测量了293篇撤回文章的1，123位合著者在撤回前后五年内的生产力，影响力和合作。我们发现了明确的证据表明，合作者确实会因同事的不当行为而遭受后果，并且因欺诈而撤回的后果比因错误而撤回的后果更严重。我们的研究结果还表明，这些后果的程度与被撤回论文的合著者的排名密切相关，第一作者感受最强烈，其次是最后一位作者，而对中间作者的影响则不那么重要。
英文摘要：
Over the last few years, several major scientific fraud cases have shocked the scientific community. The number of retractions each year has also increased tremendously, especially in the biomedical field, and scientific misconduct accounts for approximately more than half of those retractions. It is assumed that co-authors of retracted papers are affected by their colleagues' misconduct, and the aim of this study is to provide empirical evidence of the effect of retractions in biomedical research on co-authors' research careers. Using data from the Web of Science (WOS), we measured the productivity, impact and collaboration of 1,123 co-authors of 293 retracted articles for a period of five years before and after the retraction. We found clear evidence that collaborators do suffer consequences of their colleagues' misconduct, and that a retraction for fraud has higher consequences than a retraction for error. Our results also suggest that the extent of these consequences is closely linked with the ranking of co-authors on the retracted paper, being felt most strongly by first authors, followed by the last authors, while the impact is less important for middle authors.
