A Note on the Retraction of the Paper authored by Three Taiwanese Scholars
三位臺灣學者論文遭撤除事件說明
摘要
Lin, Hsu, and Chiang (2016) was retracted by the Journal Scientometrics on 17 December 2020, as a consequence of the disclosing of their questionable issues by Liu, Wu and Yeats (2017). The critics highlight that the questionable article cannot be replicated to produce a consistent result. It is an extension based on the earlier publication in Electronic Commerce Research; however, the new results are characterized by ambiguous and vague presentation and misinformation. We disclose these questionable issues and propose a framework for bibliometric research on domain knowledge of other disciplines. We stress that it is researchers' obligation to provide complete and sound information, and in so doing, complying with academic integrity. This incidence would inspire global Academia to place greater trust in the integrity of Taiwanese academics.
並列摘要
三位臺灣學者合著論文Lin，Hsu和Chiang（2016）在2020年12月17日被《科學計量》期刊撤除，導因於Liu，Wu和Yeats（2017）揭露該著作的諸多疑點。我們批判強調，爭議論文聲稱的研究結果無法被複製以產生一致的結果。它是基於Electronic Commerce Research已刊出論文的延伸；但是，新刊出的研究結果含糊不清，且存在錯誤。我們揭露許多疑點，並提出一個研究領域知識的文獻計量框架。我們強調，研究人員有義務提供完整和完善的信息，並在此過程中遵守學術誠信。這種情況將激發全球學術界對台灣學者的誠信寄予更大的信任。
