Retraction notice regarding several articles published in Restorative Neurology and Neuroscience
The Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of the journal Restorative Neurology and Neuroscience retract a total of 13 articles from the journal’s online catalogue. The articles were published in different issues of the journal in the period 2018–2020. After a thorough quality control by the editorial office it was found that the submitting authors published material that appeared fraudulent. All authors were asked to provide insight into the faulty methods and to provide access to their original research data. Some authors were either unresponsive, unable to provide a reasonable explanation for having done so, or they volunteered to withdraw their paper without specifying the reasons why. It was therefore decided to retract these articles from the permanent scientific record.
This retraction is carried out in accordance with the recommendations of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
