Versions Notes
The journal retracts the article, ‘Antimicrobial and Wound Healing Potential of a New Chemotype from Piper cubeba L. Essential Oil and In Silico Study on S. aureus tyrosyl-tRNA Synthetase Protein’ [1].
Following publication, concerns were brought to the attention of the publisher regarding the overlapping figures across three other publications [2,3,4]. More specifically, the subfigure Group 4-Day 5 of Figure 3 in the paper [1] is duplicated as the subfigure Group II and III-Day 7 of Figure 5 in the published paper [2], and subfigure day 8, EPS22 hydrogel of Figure 4A in the paper [3]. The subfigure Group 2-Day 3 is duplicated in two papers as the subfigures CICAFLORA treated group-day 4 in Figure 4a [3], and Reference group, Day 3 in Figure 2 [4]. The subfigure Group 1-Day 5 is also duplicated in two papers as the subfigures CICAFLORA treated group-day 6 in Figure 4a [3], and the Reference group, Day 7 in Figure 2 [4]. The subfigure Group 1-Day 7 is duplicated as the untreated group-day 10 of Figure 4 in the article [3] and the Untreated group, Day 11 in Figure 2 [4]. The subfigures in Figure 3 of the paper [1] also shows image manipulation within the figure, Group 1-Day 9 is duplicated with Group 2-Day 9, Group 1-Day 11 is duplicated with Group 4-Day 7 and four subfigures in Day 1 are the same. The Day 1 subfigures are also duplicated as Day 1 in Figure 2 of [4].
Adhering to our complaint’s procedure, an investigation was conducted by the Editorial Office and Editorial Board that confirmed the overlap of the figures across these four publications [1,2,3,4]. Consequently, the Editorial Office and the Editorial Board no longer have confidence in the findings and have decided to retract this article [1] as per MDPI’s retraction policy (https://www.mdpi.com/ethics#_bookmark30).
This retraction was approved by the Editor-in-Chief of the journal Plants.
The authors did not agree to this retraction.
