This article has been retracted due to several problematic issues with data duplications.
This case represents an excellent example for how an editorial and review process should NOT be performed:
- Apparent extensive duplication of data was not detected during the review process.
- Three issues of apparent duplications were reported to Science by Johannes M Dijkstra June 25th 2015.
- Dijkstra reported to Science regarding a fourth apparent data duplication August 13th.
- Science confirmed that they will publish a correction of the reported duplications September 24th.
- Science published a correction October 23rd 2015.
- The published correction poorly describes the details of the correction and the general explanation for how the published duplications were made is difficult to understand.<br>
- The extensive correction was not discussed with the authors' research institutes.
- Apparent data duplication in the corrected version was reported November 18th.
- Science published an expression of concern December 10th. Imperial College London investigates the case.
- Science finally retracted the article one year later (December 10th).
- The published retraction is only accessible for subscribers.
