The journal retracts the article “Improving Efficiency of Large RFID Networks Using a Clustered Method: A Comparative Analysis” [1], as cited above.
Following publication, concerns were brought to the attention of the Editorial Office regarding the reliability of this study [1].
Adhering to our standard procedure, an investigation was conducted by the Editorial Office and the Editorial Board and concluded that a range of flaws were present in the study, including incoherent phrasing suggestive of non-expert or automated text generation, the reporting of invalid and implausible metrics, and contradictory results across multiple sections. As a result, the Editorial Board has lost confidence in the validity of the overall findings and have decided to retract this article [1] as per MDPI’s retraction policy (https://www.mdpi.com/ethics#_bookmark30, accessed on 9 October 2025).
This retraction was approved by the Editor-in-Chief of the journal Electronics.
The author did not provide a comment on this decision.
