(2013) Mohammed Adham, A., Mohd-Ghazali, N. and Ahmad, R. (2013) “Thermal and hydrodynamic analysis of microchannel heat sinks: A Review,” Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 21, pp. 614–622. doi:10.1016/j.rser.2013.01.022. In addition, there is an unacceptable level of similarity in the figures of the article and the article published by Adham et al., (2013) Mohammed Adham, A., Mohd-Ghazali, N. and Ahmad, R. (2013) “Thermal and hydrodynamic analysis of microchannel heat sinks: A Review,” Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 21, pp. 614–622. doi:10.1016/j.rser.2013.01.022.
This retraction was approved by the Chief Editors of Frontiers in Energy Research and the Chief Executive Editor of Frontiers. The authors did not respond to the retraction.
