In the academic world, despite their corrective nature, there is still a negative stigma attached to retractions, even more so if they are based on ethical infractions. Editors-in-chief and editors are role models in academic and scholarly communities. Thus, if they have multiple retractions or a record of academic misconduct, this viewpoint argues that they should not serve on journals’ editorial boards. The exception is where such individuals have displayed a clear path of scholarly reform. Policy and guidance is needed by organizations such as the Committee on Publication Ethics.

Несмотря на корректирующий характер ретракций, в академическом мире всё еще существует связанная с ними стигма, тем более если они основаны на этических нарушениях. Редакторы и главные редакторы являются образцами для подражания в академических и научных сообществах. Поэтому наличие у них нескольких ретракций или же истории академических нарушений свидетельствует о том, что они не должны входить в редакционные коллегии журналов. Исключение составляют случаи, когда такие люди продемонстрировали четкий путь реформирования научной деятельности. Таким организациям, как Комитет публикационной этики (Committee on Publication  Ethics), необходимы должные руководство и стратегия.
