Investigate the relationship between the retraction reasons and the quality of methodology in non-Cochrane retracted systematic reviews: a systematic review

Discussion and conclusionThere was a significant relationship between the reasons of retraction and the quality of the methodology (P-value  <  0.05). Plagiarism software and using the Cope guidelines may decrease the time of retraction. In some countries, strict rules for promoting researchers increase the risk of misconduct. To avoid scientific errors and improve the quality of systematic reviews/meta-analyses (SRs/MAs), it is better t o create protocol registration and retraction guidelines in each journal for SRs/MAs.
