Versions Notes
The journal retracts the article “Non-Destructive Testing Mechanism for Pre-Stressed Steel Wire Using Acoustic Emission Monitoring” [1], cited above.
Following publication, concerns were brought to the attention of the publisher regarding an overlap between this paper [1] and an early thesis [2], published in another language by a different author.
Adhering to our complaints procedure, an investigation was conducted by the Editorial Office and Editorial Board that confirmed a significant overlap without appropriate acknowledgement or citation.
