The journal retracts the article entitled “Climate Adaptability Analysis on the Shape of Outpatient Buildings for Different Climate Zones in China Based on Low-Energy Target” by Wei et al. [1].
Following publication, concerns were brought to the attention of the Editorial Office regarding overlap with a previously written, but not yet defended, PhD thesis. Following notification of the issue, the authors subsequently requested the article [1] be retracted. Adhering to our complaint’s procedure, an investigation was conducted by the Editorial Office and the Editorial Board and confirmed the extensive use and dispersed nature of the overlap. As a result, the article has been retracted.
This retraction was approved by the Editor-in-Chief of the journal Atmosphere.
The authors agreed to this retraction.
