Mahmood, "Environmentally Friendly Green Approach for the Fabrication of Silver Oxide Nanoparticles: Characterization and Diverse Biomedical Applications," Microscopy Research & Technique 83, no. 11 (2020): 1308-1320, https://doi.org/10.1002/jemt.23522. The above article, published online on 14 July 2020 in Wiley Online Library (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/), has been retracted by agreement between the journal Editors-in-Chief, Julia Fernandez-Rodriguez and Paula Sampaio; and Wiley Periodicals LLC. Following publication, concerns were raised by a third party regarding duplications in the spectra in Figures 2 and 3. Concerns of duplication were also raised for panels C and D in Figure 4, which were investigated and confirmed by the publisher. Additionally, panels B, C, and F of Figure 4 were duplicated from, or reused in, various figures in other articles by some of the same authors (Israeel et al. 2024 [https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-79953-4]; Iqbal et al. 2020 [https://doi.org/10.3390/biomedicines8050117]; Abbasi et al. 2019 [https://doi.org/10.3390/biom10010038]; Abbasi et al. 2020 [https://doi.org/10.1088/2053-1591/ab664d]; Naveed et al. 2023 [https://doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.2c04841]). Due to the extent of these concerns, the editors have lost confidence in the results reported, and therefore the article must be retracted.
