  1. I appreciate the effort but wonder what were the basis of selecting these top 10. I feel 5 and 6 should have topped as they are author driven where they realized the mistake and came forward to retract the papers. This should be surely celebrated that the authors applauded.
    Lets not make genuine retractions as something to shy away from.
