Resumen

Este artículo fija la atención en el problema de la legitimidad del conocimiento científico. Se analizaron las declaratorias de retractación académica de artículos en el tema de vacunas COVID-19 y se registró el número de citas de los mismos. En total, se analizaron 52 textos que fueron publicados entre 2020 y 2025 con un tiempo de retractación de 0 a 4 años y que acumularon de 0 a 435 citas. Las violaciones éticas vinculadas a la mala conducta científica fue la causa de retractación. La demora en el tiempo de retractación repercute en que se utilice y se cite el artículo. Esta investigación destaca las fallas en el sistema de evaluación y validación de la información vinculada a la publicación académica.
