Submission received: 8 May 2024 / Accepted: 9 May 2024 / Published: 21 May 2024
The Coatings Editorial Office retracts the article, “Synthesis, Characterization and Photodegradation Studies of Copper Oxide–Graphene Nanocomposites” [1].
Following the publication, concerns were brought to the attention of the Editorial Office regarding issues related to the accuracy of the authorship list, the origin of the reported study, and the relevancy of the references in [1], as cited above.
Adhering to our procedure, an investigation was conducted by the Editorial Office and the Editorial Board. Following communications with the authorship group, the Editorial Office was unable to verify the accuracy of the originally listed authorship list, nor were the authors able to provide raw material to confirm the origins of this study. The relevant institutions were also contacted but failed to respond to these concerns. Furthermore, the Editorial Board judged that a significant portion of the literature cited was not sufficiently relevant to this publication and thus does not comply with MDPI’s Citation Policies (https://www.mdpi.com/ethics#_bookmark20, accessed on 7 May 2024). As a result, the Editorial Board has lost confidence in the integrity of the findings and decided to retract this publication [1], as per MDPI’s Retraction Policy (https://www.mdpi.com/ethics#_bookmark30 (accessed on 7 May 2024)) and in line with the Committee on Publication Ethics Retraction Guidelines (https://publicationethics.org/retraction-guidelines (accessed on 7 May 2024)).
This retraction was approved by the Editor-in-Chief of the Coatings journal.
Rafael Luque agreed to this retraction, while all the other authors did not agree with this retraction.
