The growing prevalence of retracted articles has heightened concerns about research integrity and the reliability of scholarly resources. This study examines the awareness and responsibilities of library professionals in India regarding managing retracted articles. Using a quantitative cross-sectional survey, data were gathered from 193 professionals (librarians, assistant librarians, deputy librarians and library assistants). The survey assessed familiarity with retraction processes, management practices and mitigation strategies. Findings indicate moderate awareness influenced by designation, experience and education. Common practices include updating catalogue metadata, flagging retracted content and notifying users; however, limited visibility in institutional repositories undermines credibility. To improve practical uptake, we propose a concise four-pillar framework - Policy and Governance, Capacity Building, Technology and Infrastructure and User Support and Engagement - with phased, resource-sensitive actions to strengthen retraction management and research integrity.
