Submission received: 9 January 2025 / Accepted: 9 January 2025 / Published: 22 January 2025
The journal retracts the article, “Combined Effects of Potassium Perchlorate and a Neonicotinoid on Zebrafish Larvae (Danio rerio)” [1], cited above.
Following publication, concerns were brought to the attention of the Editorial Office regarding image duplications within this publication [1] and between this and an earlier article [2], produced by the same authorship group.
Adhering to our standard procedure, an investigation was conducted by the Editorial Office and the Editorial Board that confirmed duplications within Figure 1, showing different experimental conditions. While the authors collaborated during the investigation, they were unable to satisfactorily explain the image duplication or provide satisfactory raw material for Editorial Board evaluation. Consequently, the Editorial Board has lost confidence in the reliability of the findings and decided to retract this publication [1], as per MDPI’s retraction policy (https://www.mdpi.com/ethics#_bookmark30).
This retraction was approved by the Editor-in-Chief of the journal Toxics.
The authors did not agree to this retraction.
