The publisher of a high-profile, now-corrected study on black plastics has been removed from the Web of Science due to concerns over quality criteria.
Chemosphere acknowledged the quality concerns and outlined improvements to article vetting and peer review in their December 12 news release.
Clarivate's removal of Chemosphere includes scrutiny over eight retracted articles this month and 60 expressions of concern since April.
After the correction of the black plastic study, concerns were heightened, triggering media coverage urging people to dispose of black plastic kitchenware.
