Literature Searching and Reviews

Unfortunately, articles are some times withdrawn after they have been published. This can be due to errors or sloppiness, but it can also be due to scientific misconduct (falsification, fabrication or plagiarism).
Scientific journals must clearly state that articles have been retracted and this should also appear in the databases.

To avoid citing retracted articles, you can, for example, use EndNote. After your final literature search (where you have imported your references to EndNote) and just before you submit your thesis, PhD or review, you can do an "Update" of your references. Then you can search for "Retracted" in the "Notes" field.

Books and reports can be plagiarized in all text or part of it.
An example: Skytt, L. (2022). [Orbánland: hvad vi kan lære af Viktor Orbáns Ungarn]. University Press of Southern Denmark.
The publisher has chosen to withdraw the book and will shred the remaining prints, as this is plagiarism.
