We hereby retract the content of this paper
Yesterday I came across a paper in software engineering that had been retracted, the first time I had encountered such a paper (I had previously written about how software engineering is great discipline for an academic fraudster).
Having an example of the wording used by the IEEE to describe a retracted paper (i.e., “this paper has been found to be in violation of IEEE’s Publication Principles”), I could search for more. I get 24,400 hits listed when “software” is included in the search, but clicking through the pages there are just 71 actual results.
A search of Retraction Watch using “software engineering” returns nine hits, none of which appear related to a software paper.
I was beginning to think that no software engineering papers had been retracted, now I know of one and if I am really interested the required search terms are now known.
