From 2000 to 2001, a series of five fraudulent papers by [[Schön scandal|Jan Hendrik Schön]] was published in ''Nature''.

The Schön scandal was not limited to ''Nature''; other prominent journals, such as ''[[Science (journal)|Science]]'' and ''[[Physical Review]]'', also retracted papers by Schön.<ref>{{cite journal |title=Retractions' realities |journal=Nature |date=6 March 2003 |volume=422 |issue=6927 |pages=1 |doi=10.1038/422001a |pmid=12621394 |bibcode=2003Natur.422Q...1. |doi-access=free }}</ref>

In 2024, a paper titled "[[Cell potency|Pluripotency]] of [[Mesenchymal stem cell|mesenchymal stem cells]] derived from adult marrow," published in 2002, was [[Retraction in academic publishing|retracted]] due to concerns raised regarding some of the panels shown in a figure, making it the most-cited retracted paper ever.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-07-07 |title=University of Minnesota retracts pioneering studies in stem cells, Alzheimer's disease |url=https://medicalxpress.com/news/2024-06-university-minnesota-retracts-stem-cells.html |access-date=2024-07-07 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240707093350/https://medicalxpress.com/news/2024-06-university-minnesota-retracts-stem-cells.html |archive-date=7 July 2024 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Jiang |first1=Yuehua |last2=Jahagirdar |first2=Balkrishna N. |last3=Reinhardt |first3=R.
