Retraction: Drivers of domestic migration in Vietnam: The characteristics of the households and their heads, environmental factors and living conditions

Abstract

Full text

Following publication of [1], concerns were raised that this article contains a substantial degree of overlap with a previously published article [2] by the same author with regard to reported figures, tables, methodology, references cited, datasets, and overall conclusions.

The author stated that [1] is an extension of the study reported in [2], that additional data were included in [1], and that the focus of the two articles is different. The PLOS One Editors consider the extent of overlap is such that this article [1] constitutes a redundant publication.

The PLOS One Editors retract this article [1] because, per our editorial assessment, it does not meet PLOS One’s publication criteria #2 that requires the reported results have not previously been published elsewhere [3].

The author did not agree with the retraction.
