The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article (Toghroli et al. 2018) because validity of the content of this article cannot be verified. This article showed evidence of substantial text overlap (most notably with the articles cited Cojbasic et al. 2016; Mazinani et al. 2016; Mohammadian et al. 2016; Mansourvar et al. 2015) and authorship manipulation. Meldi Suhatril, Zainah Ibrahim, Maryam Safa, Mahdi Shariati and Shahaboddin Shamshirband do not agree to this retraction. Ali Toghroli has not responded to any correspondence about this retraction.
