If the practice of correction and republication is effective, then the incidence of citation of the flawed version should diminish, and increased incidence of citation of the republication should be observed. If there is no difference between citation levels for corrected and republished versions of articles (or if citation of the flawed originals is higher than that of the corrected versions), then correction and republication is not effective at preventing the citation of flawed publications that have been officially withdrawn by their authors or publishers. A statistically significant difference between citation levels of flawed originals and corrected republications is not detected until 8-12 years post-republication. Results showed substantial variability among sources in their provision of authoritative bibliographic information. The assertion that inappropriate citation behavior may be partly attributable to author ignorance is not refuted by the data. |
