Post-publication, the Journal was contacted by the seventh author who stated that she was not aware of the publication of the article and further asserted that the content of the article was derived from her PhD thesis without permission. The corresponding author and the institution where the research took place were asked to comment on the concerns. The corresponding author provided a response and documentation that were assessed by the Journal Editor but were not sufficient to explain the concerns that had been raised. The institution did not respond within the timeframe provided by the journal. Further investigation revealed that the email address used for the seventh author was erroneous. The Journal Editor has lost confidence in the integrity of the article and has determined that it should be retracted.
