Abstract

Kassahun H, Tesfaye D. Integr Pharm Res Pract. 2020;9:65–70. The Editor and Publisher of Integrated Pharmacy Research and Practice wish to retract the published article. Concerns were raised regarding the alleged duplicate publication of this article with an article published in Current Drug Safety, Kassahun and Tesfaye, 2020;15(2):105-110 (http://www.eurekaselect.com/article/105569). The authors responded to our queries but were unable to provide a satisfactory explanation for the alleged duplicate publication. The Editor requested to retract the article and the authors agreed with this decision. We have been informed in our decision-making by our policy on publishing ethics and integrity and the COPE guidelines on retractions. The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as “Retracted”.
