The purpose of this study is two-fold: (1) identify the characteristics of the expert-recommended articles that were subsequently retracted and (2) investigate what happened after retraction. We examined a set of 232 recommended, later retracted or corrected articles. These articles were classified as New Finding (43%), Interesting Hypothesis (16%), and so on. More than 71% of the articles acknowledged funding support; the National Institutes of Health, USA (NIH) was a top funder (64%). The top reasons for retractions were Errors of various types (28%); Falsification\/fabrication of data, image, or results (20%); Unreliable data, image, or results (16%); and Results not reproducible (16%). Retractions took from less than 2 months to more than 15 years. Only 15% of recommendations were withdrawn either after dissents were made by other FMs or after retractions. Most of the retracted articles continue to be cited post-retraction, especially those published in Nature, Science, and Cell. Significant positive correlations were observed between post-retraction citations and pre-retraction citations, between post-retraction citations and peak citations, and between post-retraction citations and the post-retraction citing span. A significant negative correlation was also observed between the post-retraction citing span and years taken to reach peak citations. Literature recommendation systems need to update the changing status of the recommended articles in a timely manner; invite the recommending experts to update their recommendations; and provide a personalised mechanism to alert users who have accessed the recommended articles on their subsequent retractions, concerns, or corrections. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/01655515221074329","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,2]],"date-time":"2022-02-02T10:08:30Z","timestamp":1643796510000},"page":"17-34","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Expert-recommended biomedical journal articles: Their retractions or corrections, and post-retraction citing"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"50","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4202-7570","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Peiling","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information Sciences, The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6699-6806","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jing","family":"Su","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Knowledge Management, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, USA"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-01655515221074329","unstructured":"White K.
