E. Dervishi, Z. Li, A. R. Biris, D. 6park.comLupu, S. Trigwell, A. S. Biris.

Specifically, Figures 1b, 1c, and 1d 6park.comwere reproduced from these sources without acknowledging their prior 6park.comuse. In addition, Figure 1a was also previously published in another 6park.comarticle (Analysis of effluent gases during the CCVD growth of multi-wall 6park.com carbon nanotubes from acetylene. T.C.

DOI: 6park.com10.1016/j.carbon.2006.01.008). 6park.comManuscript DOI: 10.1021/jp0740346 has also been withdrawn. The 6park.com original ACS Nano paper was published ASAP on September 22, 2009, and 6park.comwithdrawn on August 20, 2012. 6park.com 6park.comThe second withdrawn paper to which the notice refers is “Influence of the RF Excitation of the Catalyst System on the Morphology of Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes,” published in the Journal of Physical Chemistry C. The two papers were cited 46 times and 15 times, respectively, according to Thomson Scientific’s Web of Knowledge. 6park.com The repeated figures also led to a correction of another ACS journal, Chemistry of Materials, for “Morphology of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes Affected by the Thermal Stability of the Catalyst System:” 6park.com This article was found to contain data and graphics that 6park.com were improperly included and misused in two papers subsequently 6park.compublished in other journals by the same authors (ACS Nano 2009, 3, 6park.com3221−3227, DOI: 10.1021/nn900887m; J. Phys. Chem. C 2007, 111, 6park.com17970−17975, DOI: 10.1021/jp0740346). The ACS Nano and J. Phys. Chem. C 6park.comarticles have since been retracted. Moreover, two figures in this 6park.comarticle (2a and 2c) are the same as those contained in another paper 6park.com(Carbon 2006, 44, 2032−2038; DOI: 10.1016/j.carbon.2006.01.008; Figures 6park.com1a and 2) and were not acknowledged as such in the Chem. Mater. paper. 6park.com 6park.comAlexandru S. Biris, the lead investigator on the retracted paper, was one of seven winners of the 2011 faculty excellence award for research at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, where he leads the Center for Integrative Nanotechnology Sciences. 6park.com Biris did not respond to several phone calls or email messages, and a 6park.com spokesperson for the university for UALR did not return calls for 6park.comcomment. 6park.comWe’ll let you know if we find out more. In the meantime, we’ll remind Retraction Watch readers that ACS Nano takes duplication — a.k.a. self-plagiarism — quite seriously, as we reported last year. 6park.com 6park.com 6park.comIoana says: 6park.com 6park.com 6park.com March 22, 2014 at 10:34 pm 6park.com 6park.com 6park.com Dr. Biris’ problem is NOT simply reusing figures.
