Submission received: 15 January 2024 / Accepted: 16 January 2024 / Published: 29 January 2024
The journal retracts the article, “Omega-3 Self-Nanoemulsion Role in Gastroprotection against Indomethacin-Induced Gastric Injury in Rats” [1], cited above.
Following publication, concerns were brought to the attention of the publisher regarding incorrect images and image overlap with later publications.
Adhering to our complaint’s procedure, an investigation was conducted that confirmed the presence of an incorrect image (Figure 4, panel B) and the partial and full overlap of this image within later publications [2,3], listing different experimental conditions.
While the authors fully cooperated with the Editorial Office during the investigation, they were unable to satisfactorily explain the mistaken inclusion of this image within this article [1], nor were they able to meet the required quality standards of raw images in order to consider a correction as per the journals original image requirements policy (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/pharmaceutics/instruc-tions#oriimages). As a result, the Editorial Board and Editor-in-Chief were unable to confirm the reliability of the overall findings and subsequently decided to retract this paper.
This retraction was approved by the Editor-in-Chief of the journal Pharmaceutics.
The authors did not agree to this retraction.
