Retraction notice to “Analysis of resistive SFCL in a test-bed microgrid” [Ain Shams Eng. J. 6 (2015) 883–892]

Abstract

This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy).This article has been retracted at the request of the authors. The authors have plagiarized part of Dr. Blair's Ph.D. Thesis that had already appeared in Starthprints, http://strathprints.strath.ac.uk/44188/1/PhD_Thesis_Steven_Blair_April_2013.pdf. 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. Re-use of any data should be appropriately cited. As such this article represents a severe abuse of the scientific publishing system. The scientific community takes a very strong view on this matter and apologies are offered to readers of the journal that this was not detected during the submission process.
