Abstract
Retraction for ‘A bio-based piezoelectric nanogenerator for mechanical energy harvesting using nanohybrid of poly(vinylidene fluoride)’ by Pralay Maiti et al., Nanoscale Adv., 2019, 1, 3200–3211, DOI: 10.1039/C9NA00214F.
The Royal Society of Chemistry hereby wholly retracts this Nanoscale Advances article due to concerns with the reliability of the data in the published article.
The PC-ESM10 section of Fig. 3d is duplicated and scaled with the P-ESM20 section of Fig. 3c, suggesting these images have been manipulated. In addition, repeating sequences can be observed in the voltage–time graphs in Fig. 4a–f, which indicates that they have been manipulated. An expert reviewed the author’s response but concluded that it did not satisfactorily address the concerns. Given the significance of the concerns about the validity of the data, the findings presented in this paper are no longer reliable.
Anupama Gaur, Shivam Tiwari, Chandan Kumar and Pralay Maiti oppose this retraction and state that the data published in this article is accurate.
Signed: Anna Rulka, Execut

Retraction in academic publishing
Practice of flagging a published paper as being severely flawed
In academic publishing, a retraction is a mechanism by which a published paper in an academic journal is flagged for being seriously flawed to the extent that their results and conclusions can no longer be relied upon. Retracted articles are not removed from the published literature but marked as retracted. In some cases it may be necessary to remove an article from publication, such as when the article is clearly defamatory, violates personal privacy, is the subject of a court order, or might pose a serious health risk to the general public.[1]
Procedure
A retraction may be initiated by the editors of a journal, or by the author(s) of the papers (or their institution). Retractions are typically accompanied by a retraction notice written by the editors or authors explaining the reason for the retraction. Such notices may also include a note from the authors with apologies for the previous error and/or expressions of gratitude to persons who disclosed the erro
