Articles may be retracted when their findings are no longer considered trustworthy due to scientific misconduct or error, they plagiarize previously published work, or they are found to violate ethical guidelines.

Although retractions are relatively rare, the retraction process is essential for correcting the literature and maintaining trust in the scientific process.>>>
