Retraction notice to 'Neutron Detection by Large NaI Crystal' [Nucl. Instrum. Methods Phys. Res. A 824 (2016) 208-209]

摘要

This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (https://www.elsevier.com/about/our-business/policies/a rticle-withdrawal).This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor.The article includes many textual similarities with a work that had already appeared in Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research A, Volume 697, January 2013, p. 59-63 (DOI: https://doi.org/ 10.1016/j.nima.2012.09.010), as well as the Master thesis Neutron detection with high-energy photons using NaI portal monitor, AaltoUniversity, 2012 (https://aaltodoc.aalto.fi/bitstreamAandle/1234567 89/5206/master_holm_philip_2012.pdf?isAUowed=y&sequence=l). One of the conditions of submission of a paper for publication is that authors declare explicitly that their work is original and has not appeared in a publication elsewhere. Re-use of any data should be appropriately cited. As such this article represents an abuse of the scientific publishing system. The scientific community takes a very strong view on this matter and apologies are offered to readers of the journal that this was not detected during the submission process.
