Application of marine biotechnology in the production of natural biocides for testing on environmentally innocuous antifouling coatings

摘要

It has been brought to our attention by certain readers that an article recently published in Journal of Coatings Technology and Research (JCTR) reproduces portions of another article published in 2003 in Biofouling without full or proper attribution. The two articles in question are: Eguia, E, Trueba, A, "Application of Marine Biotechnology in the Production of Natural Biocides for Testing on Environmentally Innocuous Antifouling Coatings." J. Coat. Technol. Res., 4 (2) 191-202 (2007). and Burgess, JG, Boyd, KG, Armstrong, E, Jiang, Z, Yan, L, Berggren, M, May, U, Pisacane, T, Granmo, A, Adams, DR, "The Development of a Marine Natural Product-Based Antifouling Paint."
