The journal retracts the article entitled “Fractional Model of Electron–Phonon Interaction” by Kulish et al. [1].
Following publication, concerns were brought to the attention of the Editorial Office regarding an overlap with a previously published paper [2] from a different author group without appropriate citation. Adhering to our complaint procedure, an investigation was conducted by the Editorial Office and the Editorial Board, which confirmed a significant overlap with the previously published paper [2]. The article was therefore retracted.
This retraction was approved by the Editor in Chief of the journal Fractal Fract.
The authors claimed that they were not aware of the existence of [2] and did not agree to this retraction.
