Retraction

Retraction: Firm information disclosure environment and R&D investment: Evidence from Internet penetration

  • The PLOS One Editors

The PLOS One Editors retract this article [1] because it was identified as one of a series of submissions for which we have concerns about potential manipulation of the publication process, peer review integrity, and authorship. These concerns call into question the validity and provenance of the reported results. We regret that the issues were not identified prior to the article’s publication.

MAK did not agree with the retraction. YW, CL, NL, and RY either did not respond directly or could not be reached.
