Details:

On December 30^th, 2021, the International Journal of Experimental Research and Review published the article 'Impact of dilute acid pretreatment on the energy generation potential from Sugarcane Bagasse: A comprehensive study' with the proper process of plagiarism checking, editorial team, two reviewing, and so on. The authors filed their declarations and copyright forms on time. They edited the paper in response to the reviewers' suggestions and provided the revised manuscript on time. Corresponding and other authors wrote to me (and the Editor in Chief) requesting that the article be retracted due to a conflict of interest. After all, the contributions of a few researchers and their facilities were not properly acknowledged. They were trying to rectify the situation as quickly as possible. The members of the Journal have discussed this important topic. One of the authors did not acknowledge the mother institute and other laboratory researchers. It was a huge blunder on their part. The article will be removed from the website immediately as a result of the final decision.
