Retraction of the article: Nosocomial infections: New vistas in their prevention (DOI: 10.17816/EID40498)

The editorial board of the journal “Epidemiology and Infectious Diseases” announces the retraction of the article “Nosocomial infections: New vistas in their prevention “ published in 2011; 16(1) by Pokrovskiy VI, et al. (10.17816/EID40498 EDN: NDSHUN).

The reason for retraction is duplicate publication in another journal without the publishers’ consent. Similar article: Pokrovskiy VI, Akimkin VG, Briko NI, et al. Nosocomial infections: New vistas in their prevention. Public Health care. 2011;(1):14–20. EDN: QBKAHZ. The editors found the publication of a similar article while monitoring the journal’s scientometric indicators. It was not possible to reliably determine to which journal the article was first submitted using available methods. Therefore, a decision was made to retract the article from the journal “Epidemiology and Infectious Diseases”.
