RETRACTED: Designing for healthy living: Supporting reflectivity on interactions in healthcare

This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy).This article has been retracted at the request of the Editors.This paper has been retracted as it substantively plagiarizes the work of Andrew Lucia and colleagues Lucia, Jones, and Sabin. “Memory, Difference, and Information: Generative Architectures Latent to Material and Perceptual Plasticity” Proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Information Visualisation, IEEE Computer Society, London, pp. 379–388, http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/IV.2011.54.The offending paper was published in a special issue of International Journal of Medical Informatics and the guest editors and original reviewers were unaware of the work of Lucia and colleagues. In February 2012, Lucia contacted the editors highlighting 13 instances of potential plagiarism. Upon review the text in question in each of these 13 cases was introduced into the manuscript during the revision process after initial peer review. The revision was submitted after the paper by Lucia had been presented at the conference on Information Visualisation.The editors of International Journal of Medical Informatics in consultation with the resources provided by our publisher have determined that Delray and Simoff did in fact substantively plagiarize the work of Lucia. The IEEE Computer Society “found that there was level four plagiarism,” and requested and received a letter of apology from Deray and Simoff.The lack of attribution to another scientist's work is among the most egregious problems we face as editors because this problem is not necessarily self-correcting. Without the diligence of the offended author, the editors of International Journal of Medical Informatics might have never known of this publication misconduct. Moreover, it has taken almost a year from the date of initial publication to partially rectify this wrong. We also apologize to Andrew Lucia and his colleagues for not reacting sooner.
