The journal retracts the article “Detection and Grade Classification of Diabetic Retinopathy and Adult Vitelliform Macular Dystrophy Based on Ophthalmoscopy Images” [1] cited above.
Following the publication of a correction [2] to this article [1], further concerns were brought to the attention of the Editorial Office regarding inconsistencies in the experimental design and results of the study presented in this publication.
Adhering to our standard procedure, an investigation was conducted by the Editorial Office and Editorial Board that confirmed the presence of methodological flaws that compromise the reliability of the overall findings. While the authors cooperated with the Editorial Office during the investigation, they were unable to provide sufficient information regarding the dataset’s availability. Consequently, the Editorial Board has lost confidence in the reliability and reproducibility of the findings and decided to retract this publication [1], as per MDPI’s retraction policy (https://www.mdpi.com/ethics#_bookmark30).
This retraction was approved by the Editor-in-Chief of the journal Electronics.
The authors did not agree to this retraction.
