Dungsupawong H. Ethical dilemma in the journal retraction process. Case Study and Case Report 2024; 14(1): 1 – 2. ABSTRACT This abstract discusses the retraction of an article in the journal J Eval Clin Pract, highlighting concerns about ethics and communication within the editorial team. The retraction process was initiated without prior communication from the Editor in Chief, raising questions about transparency and accountability. The article in question was a comment that passed standard review and had no ethical violations, but was retracted due to pressure from the publisher related to the primary author's behavior on social media. The primary article being criticized had its own ethical issues, yet no action was taken against it. This suggests a lack of fairness in the retraction process and calls for greater transparency and consistency moving forward. The focus should be on addressing ethical issues in published articles rather than targeting authors for engaging in social media discussions. Key words: ethic, dilemma, retraction, process
