Informed consent (IC) is a cornerstone of contemporary research ethics. Studies without participants’ IC violate principles of research ethics and integrity and may lead to serious consequences, including the retraction of associated articles. Our study marks the first quantitative investigation into retractions of scientific articles due to IC issues. Analyzing the frequency and nature of retractions related to IC may shed light on current research malpractices and aid researchers in addressing challenges surrounding valid consent in research.

Abstract
Informed consent (IC) is a cornerstone of contemporary research ethics. Studies without participants’ IC violate principles of research ethics and integrity and may lead to serious consequences, including the retraction of associated articles. Our study marks the first quantitative investigation into retractions of scientific articles due to IC issues. Analyzing the frequency and nature of retractions related to IC may shed light on current research malpractices and aid researchers in addressing challenges surrounding valid consent in research.File in questo prodotto:
