Abstract: This study investigates whether negative citations in articles and comments posted on post-publication peer review platforms are both equally contributing to the correction of science. These 2 types of written evidence of disputes are compared by analyzing their occurrence in relation to articles that have already been retracted or corrected. We identified retracted or corrected articles in a corpus of 72,069 articles coming from the Engineering field, from 3 journals (Science, Tumor Biology, Cancer Research) … Show more

“…A number of researchers have already made use of scite for quantitative assessments of the literature. For example, Bordignon ( 45 ) examined self-correction in the scientific record and operationalized “negative” citations as those which scite classified as disputing. They found that negative citations are rare, even among works that have been retracted.…”

“…Either way, researchers' citing practices play a prominent role in several of these phenomena. However, citation practices have only rarely been the focus of studies relating to the integrity or validity of science (with some exceptions, including (Bordignon, 2020;Greenberg, 2009b;G. Leng & Leng, 2020b;Martin, 2013)).…”

“…So, even though correction notices are recognized as a form of scientific self-correction [ 1 , 8 , 9 ], one might wonder how much they truly impact the underlying knowledge base. Do they also yield new insights, and revise theories like other forms of scientific self-correction, or do they mostly involve superficial aspects of the scientific record?…”
