Retraction notice: An efficient hybrid tunicate swarm algorithm and radial basis function searching technique for maximum power point tracking in wind energy conversion system

The publisher of the Journal of Engineering, Design and Technology wishes to retract the following article by Paulthurai Rajesh, Francis H. Shajin, and Kumar Cherukupalli (2021), ‘An efficient hybrid tunicate swarm algorithm and radial basis function searching technique for maximum power point tracking in wind energy conversion system’, published in the Journal of Engineering, Design and Technology, Vol. ahead-of-print, No. ahead-of-print, Link to An efficient hybrid tunicate swarm algorithm and radial basis function searching technique for maximum power point tracking in wind energy conversion systemLink to the cited article. Concerns were raised regarding the identity of the authors and the originality of the research; the authors were asked to provide details of their collaboration on this article and the data used to create it, but were unable to offer sufficient description of either; as a result the findings of the paper cannot be relied upon and the standard of the article does not meet that expected by the journal. The authors would like it to be noted that they are not in agreement with this retraction. The publisher of the journal sincerely apologises to the readers.
