Retraction notice to “Phishing attack detection using Machine Learning” [Meas.: Sens. 24 (2022) 100476]

Abstract

This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (https://www.elsevier.com/about/policies/article-withdrawal).This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief.Similarities have been detected with a paper by different authors that had already appeared in the Journal of Cyber Security Technology, Volume 5, Issue 1, https://doi.org/10.1080/23742917.2020.1813396 (Lokesh and BoreGowda). One of the conditions of submission of a paper for publication is that authors declare explicitly that their work is original and has not appeared in a publication elsewhere. In the present case, a number of similarities were detected post-publication, in addition to concerns raised about the use of ‘tortured phrases' on PubPeer at https://pubpeer.com/publications/BC7201CFDDE1A8BF08C845A1BEF18E#1, and the authors' subsequent justification was not accepted. The scientific community takes a very strong view on such matters and apologies are offered to readers of the journal that this was not detected during the submission process.
