We would like to raise the
awareness of readers of Polymer Chemistry
to the following incident of redundant publication.
Data reported in the following
articles:
Synthesis of fluorinated analogues
of a practical polymer TQ for improved open-circuit voltages in polymer solar
cells, Gitish K. Dutta, Taehyo Kim, Hyosung Choi, Junghoon Lee, Dong Suk Kim,
Jin Young Kim* and Changduk Yang*, Polym. Chem., 2014, 5, 2540
have been reported previously in
the following articles:
Fluorine substituted thiophene–quinoxaline copolymer
to reduce the HOMO level and increase the dielectric constant for high
open-circuit voltage organic solar cells, Yunzhang
Lu, Zhengguo Xiao, Yongbo
Yuan, Haimei Wu, Zhongwei

Although further results are
reported in the article published in Polymer
Chemistry, the prior articles report the synthesis and properties of these
polymers.
The Editor of Polymer Chemistry was not aware of the earlier publication and was informed of the duplicity only after the submission, peer review and publication of Polym. Chem., 2014, 5, 2540.
