The present study is the first of its kind to investigate all the retracted papers in the field of Environmental Sciences from Retraction Watch database. The results reveal that the growth of retraction has taken a back seat since the year 2021. The Arabian Journal of Geosciences has received the maximum retractions. The IEEE is leading the list of highly retracted publishers and China in the top of retractions. Papers continued to receive citations and Altmetric attention even after retraction. The main reason of retraction is Author’s concerned issues followed by fake peer-review process.
