Abstract
Retraction of Article: Mossie A et al
The Editorial Board of the Journal has come to know that one of the article published in the journal by Mossie A is also published in another journal. The two publications are not just duplicate publications but are also grossly distorted Making the scientific credibility of the author very doubtful. The distorted duplicates are:
A. Mossie A, Taha H and Tekli Y. Effect of Khat on blood pressure and hear, a community based study. Ethiopian Journal of Health Development
2002;16(3):325-334.
B. Mossie A. The prevalence and socio-demographic characteristics of Khat
chewing in Jimma town, South Western Ethiopia. Ethiopian Journal of Health
Sciences. 2002;12(2):69-80.
The Editorial Board deeply regrets such happening which resulted due to the failure of the author, Mossie A, to respect the professional responsibility entrusted on him. The Ethiopian Journal of Health Development is a peer-reviewed journal and requires all authors to declare originality of their manuscripts and to fully comply with scientific and ethical standards of publication. Any practice contrary to this is unacceptable. In order to prevent such activity in the future the Editorial Board has taken the following decisions:
1. to retract all publications in the Ethiopian Journal of Health Development in which Andualem Mossie is the primary author;
2. to remove the publications from the journal's electronic database to that they cannot be accessed online;
3. to ban Andualem Mossie from submitting manuscripts either as primary or coauthor to the journal for unlimited period; and
4. to provide announcement of the decision in the Journal.
The Board deeply regrets being associated with such incidence and assures its esteemed readers that necessary actions are taken to prevent such happenings.
