Retraction: Noninvasive versus invasive ventilation: one modality cannot fit all during COVID-19 outbreak

Notice of Retraction: Abhishek Singh. Noninvasive versus invasive ventilation: one modality cannot fit all during COVID-19 outbreak. Korean J Anesthesiol. 2020;73(4):359-361

The following article from the Korean Journal of Anesthesiology (KJA), “Noninvasive versus invasive ventilation: one modality cannot fit all during COVID-19 outbreak” [1] published on August 2020 has been retracted from publication.

The authors violated the publication ethics by plagiarizing a paper (Online ahead of print; Non-invasive versus invasive ventilation in COVID-19: one size does not fit all!) published in Anesthesia and Analgesia [2]. The arrangement of titles and subtitles match, and there are clearly few changes or additions to the contents, or their expression in papers published in both the journals.

Therefore, the editorial board and publication ethics committee of the KJA decided to retract this paper from our journal. We apologize to readers and try the best to thoroughly screen any plagiarisms and ethics violations prior to the publications of papers submitted and accepted in our journal.
