This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy). This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor in Chief, after review by an independent panel of experts, due to evidence of a compromised peer review process and the failure of one author to disclose significant conflicts of interest. An independent peer-review process is a cornerstone of scientific integrity that allows for research to be scrutinized before publication to ensure that conclusions are anchored in sound methodology and objective interpretation of the results. Equally important is that the readership of research is fully informed about any potential competing interests that may have influenced the research process. This article is being retracted because it did not include a declaration of a conflict of interest of one author in relation to diagnostic tools which the paper endorses. The same author was also the Editor in Chief of the journal at the time of publication and evidence indicates that the paper was accepted without any independent peer review by external reviewers. The article is therefore retracted in accordance with the ethical guidelines of Elsevier: https://www.elsevier.com/about/policies/publishing-ethics and the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) https://publicationethics.org/files/retraction-guidelines.pdf.
请参阅爱思唯尔的文章撤回政策(http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy)。在由独立专家小组进行审查后,应主编的要求,本文已被撤回,原因是有证据表明同行评审过程受到损害,且一名作者未能披露重大利益冲突。独立的同行评审过程是科学诚信的基石,它允许在研究发表前对其进行审查,以确保结论基于可靠的方法和对结果的客观解释。同样重要的是,研究的读者应充分了解任何可能影响研究过程的潜在利益冲突。本文被撤回是因为它没有包含一名作者与该论文所支持的诊断工具相关的利益冲突声明。同一作者在论文发表时也是该期刊的主编,且有证据表明该论文未经外部审稿人的任何独立同行评审就被接受了。因此,根据爱思唯尔的道德准则:https://www.elsevier.com/about/policies/publishing-ethics 以及出版伦理委员会(COPE)的规定:https://publicationethics.org/files/retraction-guidelines.pdf,本文被撤回。
