The publishers of Mental Health Review Journal wish to retract the article “Investigation of depression, anxiety and stress levels of health-care students during COVID-19 pandemic” by O.A. Al-Maraira and S.Z. Shennaq which appeared in Volume 26, Issue 2, 2021.
It has come to our attention that a large proportion of this article is taken without attribution, from an earlier unpublished article:
Gul, I; Kundakcı, YE; Ozyurek, P. (2020), “Investigation of depression, anxiety and stress levels of health-care students during COVID-19 pandemic”.
Despite numerous attempts to contact the authors, the journal has received no response; the response of the authors would be gratefully received.
The Mental Health Review Journal submission guidelines make it clear that articles must be original and must not infringe any existing copyright.
The publishers of the journal sincerely apologize to the readers and the original authors, I. Gul, YE. Kundakcı and P. Ozyurek.
