Abstract

Statement of Retraction We, the Editors and Publishers of Energy Sources, Part A: Recovery, Utilization, and Environmental Effects, have retracted this article: Yashvir Singh, Rajnish Garg & Suresh Kumar (2019) Effect of sliding speed and temperature on the tribological behavior of pongamia oil-based blended lubricant, Energy Sources, Part A: Recovery, Utilization, and Environmental Effects, 41:4, 468-480, DOI: 10.1080/15567036.2018.1520330 An investigation was conducted, and the entirety of Figure 10 was found to be published as Figure 6 in another article.

The other article is: Surana et al. (2020) Development of mahua oil as lubricant additive and its tribological characteristics, Materials Today: PROCEEDINGS; 25:4, DOI: 10.1016/j.matpr.2019.08.191 The authors do not agree with the retraction. We have been informed in our decision-making by our policy on publishing ethics and integrity and the COPE guidelines on retractions.
