Description
Shashi Prakash Dwivedi and co-authors are the subject of a 2026 retraction notice issued by the journal editor. Their study examined an aluminum silicon magnesium composite reinforced with a high entropy alloy powder. The original article, published in April 2024, covered the internal structure, interfaces, mechanical strength, and wear behavior of that composite. The notice withdraws the paper from the record.
According to the editor, the paper showed a pattern of heavy and improper citation manipulation. Concerns also arose about who should answer for the work across a set of related publications, including a second article named in the notice. Those integrity problems, the editor states, undermine the reliability of the work as a whole. The retraction took effect on July 31, 2026, a little over two years after publication.
