This dataset and supplementary tables are released in conjunction with the TPDL 2025 paper titled “How Retracted Research Persists on YouTube: Retraction Severity, Visibility, and Disclosure.” They provide detailed information used in the analysis to promote transparency, ensure reproducibility, and facilitate future studies on scholarly communication and retractions.

The dataset contains the following files:

Filename	Data Format	Description
01_dataset_scholarly_references_on_YouTube.json.gz	JSON Lines	An integrated dataset of scholarly references in YouTube video descriptions, covering videos posted up to the end of December 2023. This dataset combines the Altmetric dataset and the YA Domain Dataset and is the basis for identifying references to retracted articles. This dataset contains 743,529 scholarly references (386,628 unique DOIs) found in 322,521 YouTube videos uploaded by 77,974 channels.
02_dataset_references_to_retracted_articles_on_YouTube.json.gz	JSON Lines	A dataset of retracted articles referenced in YouTube videos, used as the primary source for analysis in this paper. The dataset was created by cross-referencing the integrated reference dataset with the Retraction Watch database. It includes metadata such as DOI, article title, retraction reason, and severity classification (Severe, Moderate, or Minor) based on Woo and Walsh (2024), along with video- and channel-level statistics (e.g., view counts and subscriber counts) retrieved via the YouTube Data API v3 as of April 22, 2025. This dataset contains 1,002 retracted articles (360 unique DOIs) found in 956 YouTube videos uploaded by 714 channels.
03_full_list_table3_sorted_by_reference_count_retracted_articles_on_YouTube.json.gz	JSON Lines	Complete list corresponding to Table 3, "Top 7 retracted articles ranked by the number of YouTube videos in which they are referenced." in the paper.
04_full_list_table5_top10_most-viewed_video.json.gz	JSON Lines	Complete list corresponding to Table 5, "Top 10 most-viewed YouTube videos that reference retracted articles, sorted by video view count." in the paper.
05_detailed_manual_coding_40_sampled_retracted_articles.xlsx	XLSX	This file provides detailed annotations for a manually coded sample of 40 YouTube videos referencing retracted scholarly articles. The sample includes 10 randomly selected videos from each of the four analytical groups categorized by publication timing (before/after retraction) and retraction severity (Moderate/Severe). The file includes reference stance for each video, visual/verbal mention of the article, and relevant timestamps when applicable. This dataset supplements the manual analysis results presented in Tables 6 and 7 in paper.

              Teens and social media

              As one of the biggest social networks worldwide, Instagram is especially popular with teenagers. As of fall 2020, the photo-sharing app ranked third in terms of preferred social network among teenagers in the United States, second to Snapchat and TikTok. Instagram was one of the most influential advertising channels among female Gen Z users when making purchasing decisions. Teens report feeling more confident, popular, and better about themselves when using social media, and less lonely, depressed and anxious.
              Social media can have negative effects on teens, which is also much more pronounced on those with low emotional well-being. It was found that 35 percent of teenagers with low social-emotional well-being reported to have experienced cyber bullying when using social media, while in comparison only five percent of teenagers with high social-emotional well-being stated the same. As such, social media can have a big impact on already fragile states of mind.
