Notice of retraction
By this notice, the editors and the publisher of the journal e-Polymers retract from publication the following article:
Andjela Lazarevic, Predrag Jankovic, Milos Madic, Dragoljub Lazarevic; Optimization of polyamide PA-6 surface roughness using the integrated Taguchi method and artificial neural network; e-Polymers, ISSN (Online) 1618-7229; published ahead-of-print May, 15th, 2014; DOI: 10.1515/epoly-2014-0023.
This retraction is due to the following reasons:
Firstly: after publication, an unsettled authorship dispute has been brought to our knowledge. Secondly: a detailed evaluation of the article’s similarity check revealed text recycling (self-plagiarism) of relevant parts of the contribution without proper cross-referencing.
We ask the readership to accept our sincere apologies.
Note
The retracted article can be found at the journal’s website www.degruyter.com/journals/epoly under the DOI: 10.1515/epoly-2014-0023.
