Journals’ Acceptance Rates

The method of calculating acceptance rates varies among journals.


Some journals use all manuscripts received as a base for computing this rate.
Many editors do not maintain accurate records on this data and provide only a rough estimate.
The number of people associated with a particular area of specialization influences the acceptance rate. If only a few people can write papers in an area, it tends to increase the journals' acceptance rate.
Cabell's Directory of Publishing Opportunities in Educational Psychology and Administration, David W.E. Cabell, Editor, 6th edition, 2002-2003 on page XIV.

A search of MEDLINE from 1966 through August 1997 found 235

articles that had been retracted
error was acknowledged in relation to 91 articles
results could not be replicated in 38
misconduct was evident in 86
The 235 retracted articles were cited 2,034 times after the retraction notice.
Examination of 299 of those citations reveals that in only 19 instances was the retraction noted;
The remaining 280 citations treated the retracted article either explicitly or implicitly as though it were valid research.
Conclusion.-- Retracted articles continue to be cited as valid work in the biomedical literature after publication of the retraction; these citations signal potential problems for biomedical science

concepts
The more concepts you combine in a search, the fewer results you are likely to retrieve.
If you get little or no results from your search, try eliminating some of your concepts, limits, or modifiers.
