The case has drawn a lot of attention due to the high impact of the paper. It has been cited 41 times in other scientific articles, earning the title of &#8220;highly cited&#8221; by Clarivate Analytics\u2014meaning it received more citations than 99% of the papers in its field over the year.<\/p>\n<p>The journal editors avoided using the term &#8220;plagiarism,&#8221; explaining that the article was retracted due to overlap with unreferenced studies. At the same time, the lead author of the study, Bertrand Foug\u00e8re, a researcher at the Paul Sabatier University hospital in Toulouse, France, explained that it was a review article (a type of paper that compiles the recent knowledge on a topic without presenting any new data) and said the missing references were an involuntary omission. &#8220;We made a big mistake forgetting to cite some papers in our review paper. We were very uncomfortable with this situation,&#8221; Foug\u00e8re explained in an email to Retraction Watch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An article published in 2017 on the effects of chronic inflammation during the aging process has been retracted","protected":false},"author":475,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[155],"tags":[],"coauthors":[785],"class_list":["post-291808","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-good-practices"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/291808","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/475"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=291808"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/291808\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":291809,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/291808\/revisions\/291809"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=291808"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=291808"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=291808"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=291808"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
