The journal retracts the article entitled “High-Sensitivity Biosensor Based on Glass Resonance PhC Cavities for Detection of Blood Component and Glucose Concentration in Human Urine” [], cited above.
Following publication, a number of concerns were brought to the attention of the Editorial Office relating to image duplication, relevancy of references, and authorship in this publication [].
Adhering to our procedure, an investigation was conducted by the Editorial Office and the Editorial Board that identified significant concerns relating to the integrity of peer-review process. Further concerns identified included an image overlap between this article [] and an earlier publication [] produced by a different authorship group, presenting different experimental conditions, and a significant number of irrelevant citations.
