This guide to searching for retracted journal articles aims to help you avoid the problem of unknowingly including references to retracted journal articles in written work. Retracted journal articles are only a small area of the published literature. To give an idea of scale, less than 0.07% of Biomed Central output was retracted from 2000 - 2015 (Moylan & Kowalczuk 2016) or 1 in 10,000 journal articles (Van der Vet & Nijveen 2016). However, the number of Retractions has grown in the last decade.
