| Regarding 370 withdrawal statements and 404 retracted papers of the Chinese academic journal database，this paper analyzes journal distribution，subject type distribution， impact on journal evaluation, annual distribution of “retraction，publication, retraction and publication in the same year”,annual average number of delayed months, retraction reasons and citation. The findings reveal that the retracted papers in the medical and health category account for the highest percentage. There is not a very obvious correlation between the number of retracted papers and journal impact factor and inclusion in the core journal database. The annual distribution of “retraction, publication, retraction and publication in the year” of the retracted papers and the annual average number of delayed months for the published papers are going in the positive direction. The paper retraction owing to academic misconduct accounts for the highest percentage. The retracted papers are still heavily cited. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the control degree of academic misconduct in the medical and health field, improve journal editors' level and ability of identifying and preventing papers with academic misconduct，create a common manuscript tracking platform for all publishing units, and build a special website for academic misconduct. |
