The dataset called WithdrarXiv reveals over 14,000 withdrawn arXiv studies, emphasizing the need for improved error-checking tools in the research submission process.
The analysis shows that the most common reasons for withdrawal include factual or methodological errors, with over 6,000 preprints removed for such issues.
Contrary to journal retractions, which often involve misconduct, the majority of arXiv withdrawals stemmed from genuine mistakes or incomplete research.
This initiative aims to help researchers identify potential errors early in their submission process, fostering a culture of quality in scientific publishing.
