We, the Editors and Publishers of International Journal of Neuroscience, are retracting the following article from publication in the Taylor & Francis journal.
Wei XJ, Li F, Yang Fy, Duan CH, Serum protein biomarkers screening in patients with ischemic stroke by LC-MS/MS, International Journal of Neuroscience 126(8): 692-699, doi: 10.3109/00207454.2015.1033713. Epub 2015 Aug 17.
Due to inconsistencies between the names of the submitting authors and published authors, including their host institution and conflicting messages between the two alleged lead authors, we find there is sufficient doubt with respect to the provenance of the article, therefore it is being retracted from the journal.
This appears to constitute a breach of warranties made by the authors with respect to originality and of our policy on publishing ethics and integrity. We note we received, peer-reviewed, accepted, and published the article in good faith based on these warranties, and censure this action.
The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as retracted.
