OSA is retracting this paper [1] because the author’s institution (University of Leeds) has conducted a review that found that the research on which the paper was based was the work of a team, rather than solely that of Dr. Al-Lashi, and that references to the contributions of others in the acknowledgment section of the paper were inadequate in reflecting that. A revised paper [2] includes coauthors from the University of Southampton and the University College London as well as changes to improve the accuracy and clarity of the text.
The original paper was published 21 July 2016 and was retracted on 6 March 2018.
