Abstract
The following article has been retracted as a result of our determining the likelihood of manipulation of the peer-review process:
“Effects of Oxymatrine on the Proliferation and Apoptosis of Human Hepatoma Carcinoma Cells,” by Yan Liu, MD, Tingting Bi, MD, Wei Dai, PhD, Gang Wang, PhD, Liqiang Qian, MD, Quangen Gao, MD, and Genhai Shen, MD, Technology in Cancer Research & Treatment, DOI: 10.1177/1533034615587616
After investigating the peer-review process for the article, SAGE determined that the peer-review process was likely compromised. Our review identified an unusual verbatim repetition of review comments provided from different peer-reviewer accounts provided by submitting author, Quangen Gao, MD, as recommended reviewers. SAGE apologizes to readers and regrets that the academic record has been compromised as a result of this manipulation of the peer-review process.
