RETRACTED ARTICLE: Elemental Analysis of Crustaceans by Inductively Coupled Plasma–Mass Spectrometry and Direct Mercury Analysis

Abstract

We, the Editor, the Authors, and Publisher, have retracted the following article:

Nargis Jamila, In Ming Hwang, Yu Min Park, Ga Hyun Lee, Ji Yeon Choi, Naeem Khan, Min Ja Cho, Kyung Su Park & Kyong Su Kim “Elemental Analysis of Crustaceans by Inductively Coupled Plasma—Mass Spectrometry and Direct Mercury Analysis.” Analytical Letters (2017), https://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00032719.2017.1296851

The authors have requested the retraction of their article due to variations in the concentration of the arsenic identified at the data analysis stage, which affected the reported results of the paper and conclusion. Upon realizing this error, the authors brought the issue to the journal Editor and Publisher immediately. There are no concerns regarding research or publishing conduct and the authors have had already resubmitted an updated paper, which has been accepted and published as https://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00032719.2021.1895188

We have been informed in our decision-making by our policy on publishing ethics and integrity and the COPE guidelines on retractions.

The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as RETRACTED.
