The reasons for retraction

I have a feature out today in Nature on the retractions system. Over the past decade, the number of retraction notices has grown 10-fold, though it’s still a miniscule sliver (about 0.02%) compared to the research literature. This rise is sharpening focus on various problems with the system for retracting papers. Retractions even have their own blog now, Retraction Watch, which covered a good two-thirds of last year’s retractions in detail.
