The current study is aimed at assessment of compliance of retraction notices for articles on mental disorders with COPE guidelines and impact of open access on post-retraction citation of retracted articles on mental disorders. A bibliometric search was carried out for retraction notices for articles on mental disorders using PubMed. Twenty-four (43.63%) articles were retracted in the year 2010 or later and 31 (56.36%) were retracted before 2010. A significantly higher proportion of articles cited at least once post-retraction were without a freely accessible retraction notice (chi square = 10.06, df = 1, P = 0.002). Open access status of the article did not influence the times (in months) to retraction after publication (U = 321.00, P = 0.73).
