Retraction Watch - a blog for research integrity
"The mission of the Center for Scientific Integrity, the parent organization of Retraction Watch, is to promote transparency and integrity in science and scientific publishing, and to disseminate best practices and increase efficiency in science.
The goals of the Center fall under four broad areas:
A database of retractions, expressions of concern and related publishing events, generated by the work of Retraction Watch. The database will be freely available to scientists, scholars and anyone else interested in analyzing the information.
Long-form, larger-impact writing, including magazine-length articles, reports and books.
Scholarship on scientific integrity and incentives in science.
Aid and assistance to groups and individuals whose interests in transparency and accountability intersect with ours, and who could benefit from shared expertise and resources.
The Center is a 501(c)3 non-profit. Its work is funded by generous grants from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and the Laura and John Arnold Foundation." --

Tracking retractions as a window into the scientific process
Top 10 most highly cited retracted papers
"Ever curious which retracted papers have been most cited by other scientists? Below, we present the list of the 10 most highly cited retractions. Readers will see some familiar entries, such as the infamous Lancet paper by Andrew Wakefield that originally suggested a link between autism and childhood vaccines. You’ll note that many papers — including the #1 most cited paper — received more citations after they were retracted, which research has shown is an ongoing problem. As always, we will update the list as more information comes to light." -- http://retractionwatch.com/the-retrac...
