Versions Notes
The Applied Sciences Editorial office retracts the article “Fractal Behavior of Particle Size Distribution in the Rare Earth Tailings Crushing Process under High Stress Condition” [1], cited above.
Following publication, the authors raised concerns with the Editorial Office regarding an overlap between this publication [1], and a previously published article [2], originating from a different authorship group and published in another language.
Adhering to our complaint’s procedure, an investigation was conducted by the Editorial Office and Editorial Board, which confirmed a similar article structure, overlap of tables, and the duplication of multiple images between these two publications [1,2]. Given the extent of the overlap and duplications, the Editorial Office and Editorial Board have decided to retract this publication [1] as per MDPI’s retraction policy (https://www.mdpi.com/ethics#_bookmark30) and in line with the Committee on Publication Ethics guidelines (https://publicationethics.org/retraction-guidelines).
This retraction was approved by the Editor-in-Chief of the journal Applied Sciences.
The first and second author agreed to this retraction. The third author did not provide a comment on this decision.
