Following on from our investigation into the publication of the above articles we have concluded there are significant levels of similarity within the four papers to other identified publications. These papers were not correctly attributed to the authors at the time of publication and the duplication is too significant for the scholarly record to be rectified by other means.
These actions constitute a breach of warranties made by the author with respect to originality. We note we received, peer-reviewed, accepted, and published the article in good faith based on these warranties, and censure this action.
The retracted articles will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as RETRACTED.
