RETRACTED: Effects of Minor Scandium on As-cast Microstructure, Mechanical Properties and Casting Fluidity of ZA84 Magnesium Alloy

The authors have plagiarized part of a paper that had already appeared in [Mater. Des., 2010, 31 68-75, http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.matdes.2009.07.018]. One of the conditions of submission of a paper for publication is that authors declare explicitly that their work is original and has not appeared in a publication elsewhere. Re-use of any data should be appropriately cited. As such this article represents a severe abuse of the scientific publishing system. The scientific community takes a very strong view on this matter and apologies are offered to readers of the journal that this was not detected during the submission process.
