2021: The number of marriages in biomedical work in the world has quadrupled in 20 years
In early June 2024, researchers from the University of Santiago de Compostela in Spain reported that the number of recalled scientific papers in the biomedical field quadrupled between 2000 and 2021. Two-thirds of the work was withdrawn due to data misuse, plagiarism and data fraud.

In recent years, publishers of scientific journals have faced growing discontent with the biomedical community, and in 2023 a record number of documents were withdrawn - over 10,000 scientific articles. Although not all works were withdrawn due to fraud, only about 16% of reviews were related to unintentional errors of researchers. At the same time, the reasons for the withdrawal of articles over 20 years have changed. In 2000, a large proportion of refutations were related to ethical and legal issues, issues of authorship, including dubious or false authorship, and duplication of images, data, or large amounts of text. By 2020, data duplication was still one of the main reasons for the recall of scientific articles, but a large proportion of the work was withdrawn due to "inaccurate data."
Most articles on biomedical sciences were withdrawn in, Germany,, and Britain. Italy Spain[1]
