- Title
The Right to Retract and the Danger of Retractions.
- Authors
Wilson, John K.
- Abstract
Retractions by journals are an essential part of scholarship to deal with fraud and false research. But retractions also pose a threat to academic freedom when they are used to censor unpopular views under political pressure. Decisions to retract need to be made by the correct people (the journal editors), in the correct manner (following established due process procedures), and for the correct reasons (cases of fraudulent deception, rather than mere errors of facts or ideology).
