When an academic paper is published in a journal that assigns a digital object identifier (DOI) to papers, this is a de facto fait accompli. Corrections or retractions are supposed to follow a specific protocol, especially in journals that claim to follow the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines. In this paper, we highlight a case of a new, fully open access neuroscience journal that claims to be COPE‐compliant, yet has silently retracted two papers since all records, bibliometrics, and PDF files related to their existence have been deleted from the journal's website. Although this phenomenon does not seem to be common in the neurosciences, we consider that any opaque corrective measures in journals whose papers could be cited may negatively impact the wider neuroscience literature and community. Instead, we encourage transparency in retraction to promote truthfulness and trustworthiness.

反对神经科学领域的“无声”撤稿

当一篇学术论文发表在为论文分配数字对象标识符（DOI）的期刊上时，这实际上是一种既成事实。更正或撤回应该遵循特定的协议，特别是在声称遵循出版道德委员会 (COPE) 指南的期刊中。在本文中，我们重点介绍了一个新的、完全开放获取的神经科学期刊的案例，该期刊声称符合 COPE 标准，但却悄悄撤回了两篇论文，因为与其存在相关的所有记录、文献计量学和 PDF 文件均已从该期刊的数据库中删除。网站。尽管这种现象在神经科学领域似乎并不常见，但我们认为，论文可以被引用的期刊中任何不透明的纠正措施都可能对更广泛的神经科学文献和社区产生负面影响。相反，我们鼓励撤回的透明度，以促进真实性和可信度。
