Recently, through social media i came across several issues of article retraction. Where, blots were even duplicated, FACS results were duplicated, blots were manipulated and so on....
What are your opinions for the reasons responsible for such incidence?
1. Publication pressure that is forcing students to manipulate data
2. Negligence of PI, that are not even bothering to review manuscripts before submission or are not reviewing so thoroughly
3. Weak review process of the journals, through which such things escape while article processing and trapped after several years of publications
4. Three of them...
Please share your views, comments...or more reasons responsible for retraction...

I have seen good works published in reputed indexed journals, retracted due to simultanouse publication. So, one reason may be due to authors unethical submission to more than 1 journal at a time, to avoid unwanted time wastage.
You can retract paper when the Journal is not meeting up to your expectations.
I agree with Devi and Obeagu; you can retract your paper if you think publishers have violated the term of contract or your submitting your manuscript to 2 different publishers.
Articles are retracted if they a plagiarized, forged and it has been proved that there was dishonesty in the publication of the article
