Retraction notice to “Green economic recovery in central Asia by utilizing natural resources” [Resour. Pol. 83 (2023) 103621]

Abstract

This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (https://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy).

This article has been retracted at the request of the Editors-in-Chief.

This article is exactly the same as the published article, ‘’Green economic recovery in central Asia by utilizing natural resources’’, Resources Policy, June 2023, doi:https://doi.org/10.1016/j.resourpol.2023.103582 except for highlights and funding details.

The authors alleged that the other author had access to their paper because they were a part of the same research network and that he accidentally sent their paper instead of his. However, it is unclear why the highlights and funding details would be different if the two papers were identical. The Editor does not find the authors' justification convincing and has lost confidence in the validity/integrity of the article. The Editor has therefore decided to retract the article.

The scientific community takes a very strong view on this matter and apologies are offered to readers of the journal that this was not detected during the publication process.
