Security and Communication Networks has retracted the article titled “Research on Educational Information Platform Based on Cloud Computing” [1], due to concerns with the authenticity of the data. It was found that previous versions of this submission contained a figure unrelated to the topic of the paper, and this graph was subsequently identified within several other submissions, all with accompanying text claiming to have generated the graph. A number of these submissions were rejected from the journal; however, 6 were published and have now been retracted from Security and Communication Networks and Scientific Programming [2–6].
The authors responded to explain that an author from one of the identified submissions had provided copy editing for their manuscript and introduced the graph and accompanying text in error.
The authors were unable to provide copies of correspondence to support their claim or the raw data from their study. The authors’ explanation did not satisfy the concerns of the editorial board, and the article is therefore being retracted due to concerns with the reliability of the data.
The authors do not agree to the retraction.
