Abstract This paper presents a case study of long-term post-retraction citation to falsified clinical trial data (Matsuyama et al. in Chest 128(6):3817–3827, 2005. 10.1378/chest.128.6.3817 ), demonstrating problems with how the current digital library environment communicates retraction status. Eleven years after its retraction, continues be cited positively and uncritically support medical nutrition intervention, without mention 2008 for falsifying data. To date no high quality trials...

We present the first database-wide study on citation contexts of retracted papers, which covers 7,813 papers indexed in PubMed, 169,434 citations collected from iCite, and 48,134 identified XML version PubMed Central Open Access Subset. Compared with previous studies that focused comparing counts using two time frames (i.e., preretraction postretraction), our analyses show longitudinal trends to past 60 years (1960-2020). Our temporal continued be cited, but old stopped being cited as...

The internet has transformed the dissemination and reception of scientific information, creating unique opportunities challenges for public science. This panel explores impact digitally mediated communication on perceptions science, focusing proliferation misinformation, conspiracy theories, science politicization in online spaces. Drawing from diverse disciplinary perspectives, including communication, information history, our panelists describe how various aspects digital influence...

Retraction is a mechanism for alerting readers to unreliable material and other problems in the published scientific scholarly record. Retracted publications generally remain visible searchable, but intention of retraction mark them as "removed" from citable record scholarship. However, practice, some retracted articles continue be treated by researchers public valid content they are often unaware retraction. Research over past decade has identified number factors contributing unintentional...

Increasingly, ad-hoc online task groups must make decisions about jointly created artifacts such as open source software and Wikipedia articles. Time-consuming laborious attention to textual discussions is needed decisions, for which computer support would be beneficial. Yet there has been little study of the argumentation patterns that distributed use in evaluation decision-making. In a corpus English deletion discussions, we investigate schemes used, role arguer's experience, arguments are...

The incorporation of publications that have been retracted is a risk in reliable evidence synthesis. Retraction an important mechanism for correcting the literature and protecting its integrity. Within medical literature, continued citation occurs variety reasons. Recent suggests systematic reviews meta-analyses often unwittingly cite which, at least some cases, may significantly impact quantitative effect estimates meta-analyses. There strong authors be unaware status treat them as if they...

Deletion of articles is a common process in Wikipedia, order to ensure the overall quality encyclopedia. Yet, there need better understand procedures promote best decisions without unnecessary community work. In this paper, we study deletion drawing from factor analysis, and taking an in-depth, content-analysis-based approach. We address three research questions: First, what factors contribute decision about whether delete given article? Second, when multiple are given, relative importance...

Social media have enabled a revolution in user-generated content. They allow users to connect, build community, produce and share content, publish opinions. To better understand online users' attitudes opinions, we use stance classification. Stance classification is relatively new challenging approach deepen opinion mining by classifying user's debate. Our case tweets that were related the spring 2016 debate over FBI's request Apple decrypt iPhone. In this "encryption debate," public was...

Out-of-date or incomplete drug product labeling information may increase the risk of otherwise preventable adverse events. In recognition these concerns, United States Federal Drug Administration (FDA) requires labels to include specific information. Unfortunately, several studies have found that fails keep current with scientific literature. We present a novel approach addressing this issue. The primary goal is better meet needs persons who consult label for on drug’s efficacy,...

Preventing drug interactions is an important goal to maximize patient benefit from medications. Summarizing potential drug-drug (PDDIs) for clinical decision support challenging, and there no single repository PDDI evidence. Additionally, inconsistencies across compendia other sources have been well documented. Standard search strategies complete current evidence about PDDIs not heretofore developed or validated.This study aimed identify common methods conducting literature searches used by...

Argumentation mining is an application of natural language processing (NLP) that emerged a few years ago and has recently enjoyed considerable popularity, as demonstrated by series international

Wikipedia's article discussion spaces (Talk pages) form a large and growing proportion of the encyclopedia, used for collaboration improvement. So far there is no in-depth account how Talk pages are used, what wrong with them, they can be improved. This paper reports on three contributions promoting understanding improvement these spaces: (1) Wikipedia editor interviews provide an increased readers' editors' needs, (2) large-scale comparative content analysis adds to knowledge kinds...

Scientific digital libraries speed dissemination of scientific publications, but also the propagation invalid or unreliable knowledge. Although many papers with known validity problems are highly cited, no auditing process is currently available to determine whether a citing paper's findings fundamentally depend on To address this, we introduce new framework, keystone designed identify when and how impacts paper, using argumentation theory citation context analysis. Through two pilot case...

Previous research has posited a correlation between poor indexing and inadvertent post-retraction citation. However, to date, there been limited systematic study of retraction quality: we are aware one database-wide comparison PubMed Web Science, multiple smaller studies highlighting problems for items with the same reason or field study. To assess agreement multidisciplinary indexes, create union list 49,924 publications DOIs from indices at least Crossref, Retraction Watch, Scopus,...

A fully probabilistic command interface for controlling robots using multi-stroke sketch commands is presented. Drawing from prior work in handwriting recognition, sketches are modeled as a variable duration hidden Markov model, where the distributions on states and transitions learned training data. forward search algorithm gesture, stroke, stroke transition observations used to find most likely sketch, which displayed user confirmation. In cases incorrect, can reject it, prompting next be...
