Abstract

This article previously published in Volume 22 Issue 6 of this journal in June 2023 has been retracted in line with the guidelines from the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE, http://publicationethics.org/ resources/guidelines). This was a follow up to the report by somebody identified as VU Nguyen (email: nguyenvu81@protonmail.com) of the duplicate publication of an article earlier published in 2020 (available at http://125.212.201.8:6008/ViewOnline?bitstid=0d585588-2d02-4839-907a-92998674bb4d& type=1) in Vietnamese where a figure and some text in the article were repeated in the article published in this journal.

This action was taken after thorough investigation of the plagiarism report and follow-up comments from both the corresponding author and Nguyen VU against the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
