RETRACTED ARTICLE: Parkinson’s disease-associated melanin steal

Abstract

Hinz M, Stein A, Cole T. Neuropsychiatr Dis Treat. 2014;10:2331–2337.

The Editor-in-chief and Publisher of Neuropsychiatric Disease and Treatment wish to retract the published article.

This perspective article cites several original research articles published by the authors, which have recently been retracted. This article draws on the findings from those original research articles to form central arguments and discussion, and as a result of the research articles’ retraction, the argument presented in this article is no longer valid and the editor has determined it should be retracted.

Our decision-making was informed by our policy on publishing ethics and integrity and the COPE guidelines on retraction.

The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as “Retracted”.
