Dataset for: Does Organized Misconduct Shape Network Topology? Part III: Topology of Retracted Article Citation Networks
Abstract
Description: This dataset comprises the longitudinal citation network data and administrative metadata used in the study investigating the topological evolution of citation networks associated with organized misconduct and bulk retractions (Sr > 1). The data supports the analysis of temporal topology, retraction latency, and researcher awareness (co-citation) within the PubMed ecosystem. Data Source: Data was derived from the PubMed Central (PMC) Open Access Subset and PubMed bibliographic metadata.
