The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article [1], which was published as part of special issue “Multi-source Weak Data Management using Big Data”, because its content has been duplicated from an unpublished manuscript submitted by a different group of authors. The article also shows substantial text overlap, most notably with the article cited [2]. In addition, there is evidence of figure duplication without appropriate permission, as well as evidence suggesting authorship manipulation and an attempt to subvert the peer review process. The authors have not responded to correspondence about this retraction. References
