最近Retraction watch数据库被CrossRef收购，并免费开放：News Crossref and Retraction Watch – Crossref。

截至新闻发布时间——2023 September 12——数据库条目数如下：

Crossref retractions number 14k, and the Retraction Watch database currently numbers 43k. There is some overlap, making a total of around 50k retractions.

获取数据的方法如下(摘自原文):

1. The full dataset has been released through Crossref’s Labs API, initially as a .csv file to download directly: https://api.labs.crossref.org/data/retractionwatch?name@email.org (add your ‘mailto’).(作者注：将链接中的邮件地址换为有效邮件地址即可下载)
2. The Crossref Labs API also displays information about retractions in the /works/ route when metadata is available, such as https://api.labs.crossref.org/works/10.2147/CMAR.S324920?name@email.org (add your ‘mailto’). If you don’t have a .json viewer, please see below for screenshot.

• RetractionNature (Because of a lack of consistency in how journals and publishers title notices, we opted for three: Retraction, Expression of Concern, and Correction. Any article that was stipulated as entirely removed from the publishing site, regardless of time duration, was considered a Retraction. A Correction incorporated any amendment made to the original text that did not entirely remove the article from the publishing platform, such as Erratum, Corrigendum and “Partial Retraction.” An Expression of Concern encompassed virtually all other notices made by publishers or editors.)
• Reason
• Paywalled (If a paid subscription was required to discern the article title or reason for notice, the notice was considered paywalled)
• Notes
