Duplicate publication uprooted from plant journal
What is this about?
A paper had been published in a less known journal in the boundaries of a specific country as well as submitted to an international journal. The paper was later on retracted.
Why is this important?
Authors do not always set on purposely to deceive in all ethics violations allegations. For example, double submission may be in order to increase one's list of publications but it can also derive by luck of communication between authors (especially when in different countries/institutions) which may lead to such 'misshapen'.
