This paper shows that the university's with the most retractions are actually the least woke and should be the only ones you listen to

--This paper has been retracted

I find it a bit misleading to focus on retractions. Articles being retracted is a necessary thing, and there is nothing more suspicious than a place that never retracted anything.

What matters here is obviously the nature of the retractions, the source of the problem, which generally means whether it's a fraud or not.

Who did the retraction is also important. An author voluntarily retracting their own paper is different from the journal retracting the paper.
