Versions Notes
The Gels Editorial Office retracts the article, “Employing of Curcumin–Silver Nanoparticle-Incorporated Sodium Alginate-Co-Acacia Gum Film Hydrogels for Wound Dressing” [1], cited above.
Following publication, concerns were brought to the attention of the publisher regarding unattributed overlap with a previously published article from a different authorship group.
Adhering to our complaint’s procedure, an investigation was conducted by the Editorial Office and Editorial Board that confirmed a significant overlap of methodology, data and a figure (Figure 1) between this article [1] and a previously published article [2], without appropriate citation. As a result, the Editorial Office, the Editorial Board and the authors have decided to retract this paper as per MDPI’s retraction policy (https://www.mdpi.com/ethics#_bookmark30, accessed on 8 May 2024) and in line with the Committee on Publication Ethics retraction guidelines (https://publicationethics.org/retraction-guidelines, accessed on 8 May 2024).
This retraction was approved by the Editor-in-Chief of the journal Gels.
The authors agree to this retraction.
