Versions Notes
The journal retracts the article “Artemisia Extracts and Artemisinin-Based Antimalarials for COVID-19 Management: Could These Be Effective Antivirals for COVID-19 Treatment?” [1].
Following publication, concerns were brought to the attention of the Editorial Office regarding significant overlap with a previously published work [2] with a different authorship group and without appropriate citation.
Adhering to our complaint’s procedure, an investigation was conducted by the Editorial Office and Editorial Board and confirmed the overlap, which included a number of identical sequences of references, abbreviations not commonly used in Molecules, as well as the lack of methodology that differentiates the current results from previous publications. This article is therefore retracted.
This retraction was approved by the Editor in Chief of the journal Molecules.
The authors disagree with this retraction.
