Dear Editor,
I'm shocked that you publicized some papers that are fake here

I hope you can act
Thank you

Dear Pierre-Michel Forget
Keep in mind that RG uploads automatically papers of numerous journals. I guess it highly depends on the data provided by the publishers behind these journals (whether it is properly updated etc.).
For example, I noticed:
Article Seed storage behaviour of three tropical tree species from C...
is retracted (as well). Unfortunately, this is not visible here on RG (but is clearly indicated once you click on the DOI link).
By the way, it is of course clear that the response of Elsevier (as mentioned in the contribution in Science’s News & Analysis section) is nonsense. A few years ago, I brought a case of simultaneous submission to two journals one in an Elsevier journal title and one in a Springer title to their attention…only Springer responded adequately and retracted the paper).
Best regards.
PS. According to https://journalseeker.researchbib.com/view/issn/2141-5447 the publisher behind the journal “International Research Journal of Plant Science (ISSN: 2141-5447)” is published by “International Research Journals” (the Nigerian one). A publisher mentioned in the Beall’s list of potential predatory publishers (https://beallslist.net ).
