The PLoS ONE editorial team has become aware that the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) is carrying out an investigation into the research by Dr Jesús Ángel Lemus. The PLoS ONE editors have contacted the CSIC and requested to be informed of the outcome of the ongoing investigation. The PLoS ONE editors will consider whether any specific action is required in relation to Dr Lemus’ publications at PLoS ONE as soon as we are notified of the outcome of the institutional investigation.
