The Royal Society of Chemistry hereby wholly retracts this Journal of Materials Chemistry article with the agreement of Christopher W. Bielawski, Andrew G. Tennyson and Kelly M. Wiggins (other co-authors could not be reached) due to data fabrication as detailed below. This retraction supersedes the information provided in the Expression of Concern related to this article. The Royal Society of Chemistry has been contacted by the corresponding author of this article and the Research Integrity Officer at The University of Texas at Austin regarding concerns of scientific misconduct affecting this article. The Research Integrity Officer has informed us that an investigation to ascertain the validity of the work reported has found that scientific misconduct by one of the articles co-authors has taken place as follows: the kinetics data and plots in this article were fabricated. Specifically, the rates and associated data in the Results and Discussion section were fabricated. The data acquired from the kinetics experiments discussed in the Supporting Information section entitled â3. Polymer Chain Scission Experiments: Kinetic Analysesâ, was fabricated. The data found in Figures 1B, 1C, and 1D, Supplementary Figures S5 and S6, and Supplementary Table S2 was fabricated. In addition, all of the Gel Permeation Chromatographs presented in this article and the accompanying Supplementary Information were smoothed. The signing authors would like to apologise for this and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers. Signed: Christopher W. Bielawski, Andrew G. Tennyson and Kelly M. Wiggins, March 2015
英国皇家化学会在此完全撤回这篇《材料化学杂志》的文章,得到Christopher W. Bielawski、Andrew G. Tennyson和Kelly M. Wiggins的同意(其他共同作者无法联系)。撤回的原因如下所述:数据造假。此次撤回涵盖了与该文章相关的关注声明中提供的信息。
英国皇家化学会已接到这篇文章的通讯作者及德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的研究诚信官的联系,关于影响本文章的科学不当行为的担忧。研究诚信官告知我们,经过调查确定报道的工作有效性后发现,文章的一位共同作者存在以下科学不当行为:文章中的动力学数据和图表是伪造的。具体而言,结果与讨论部分中的速率及相关数据是伪造的。支持材料中题为“3.聚合物链断裂实验:动力学分析”的部分中讨论的动力学实验数据也是伪造的。图1B、1C和1D、补充图S5和S6以及补充表S2中的数据均为伪造。此外,本文中呈现的所有凝胶渗透色谱图及其相关补充信息都经过了平滑处理。签署作者对此表示歉意,并对由此对作者和读者造成的任何不便表示遗憾。
