2020年COVID-19大流行催生了前所未有的科学研究，首年内发表了超过100，000篇关于SARS-COV 2病毒或相关大流行的文章。为了有效地传播如此大量的研究成果，一些学术期刊出版商改变了他们的审查标准，许多文章在经历传统的审查过程之前就可以获得。然而，随着信息的快速涌入，多篇COVID-19文章被撤回或撤回。一些研究人员表示担心，这些撤回令人质疑加速审查程序的有效性和更大规模COVID-19研究的整体质量。我们检查了68篇被删除的文章，并确定许多文章因未知原因（n = 22）或重复（n = 12）而被删除; 24篇论文因更重要的原因（数据完整性，剽窃，报告或分析，IRB或隐私问题）而被撤回。大多数删除的论文来自美国（n = 23）和中国（n = 19）。
The 2020 COVID-19 pandemic has produced an unprecedented amount of scientific research, with over 100,000 articles on the SARS-COV2 virus or the associated pandemic published within the first year. To effectively disseminate such a large volume of research, some academic journal publishers altered their review criteria, and many articles were made available before undergoing a traditional review process. However, with this rapid influx of information, multiple COVID-19 articles have been retracted or withdrawn. Some researchers have expressed concern that these retractions call into question the validity of an expedited review process and the overall quality of the larger body of COVID-19 research. We examined 68 removed articles and determined that many of the articles were removed for unknown reasons (n = 22) or as duplications (n = 12); 24 papers were retracted for more significant reasons (data integrity, plagiarism, reporting or analysis, and IRB or privacy issues). The majority of removed papers were from the USA (n = 23) and China (n = 19).
