The Royal Society of Chemistry hereby wholly retracts this Journal of Materials Chemistry article with the agreement of Christopher W. Bielawski 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 thermal plots in this article were falsified from original data – the enumerated figures do not accurately reflect the raw data. Specifically, the thermal data in Figure 2 was falsified. The thermal data in Supplementary Figures S1-S3 was also falsified. The original data in Figure 2 and Supplementary Figures S1-S3 was manipulated to make the peaks appear larger or smaller than they originally were. The signing authors would like to apologise for this and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers. Signed: Christopher W. Bielawski and Kelly M. Wiggins, March 2015
皇家
化学学会在此全权撤回与Christopher W. Bielawski和Kelly M. Wiggins达成一致的《
材料化学杂志》文章(其他共同作者未能联系上),原因如下:数据伪造。此次撤回替代了与该文章相关的关注声明中提供的信息。该文章的通讯作者以及德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的研究诚信官已与皇家
化学学会联系,提出了影响此文章的科学不端行为的担忧。研究诚信官告知我们,调查确认了报告中工作的有效性,发现一位共同作者存在以下科学不端行为:本文中的热图是基于原始数据伪造的——列举的图形并未准确反映原始数据。具体而言,图2中的热数据被伪造。补充图S1-S3中的热数据也被伪造。图2及补充图S1-S3中的原始数据被操控,使峰值看起来比实际大或小。签署的作者对此表示歉意,并对作者和读者造成的任何不便表示歉意。 签署者:Christopher W. Bielawski 和 Kelly M. Wiggins,2015年3月。
