Retraction Note : Shear strength of extremely altered serpentinites based on degree of saturation (Ankara, Turkey)

The Editor in Chief has retracted this article. After publication, concerns were raised over potentially inconsistent data - for example, the author mentioned residual soil with silt fraction, but Fig.5 shows even the smallest grains are beyond silt grains. Further analysis showed that Fig. 6 and Fig. 9 show both loose and dense soils exhibiting very similar dilatance behaviour, which is not typical. The author shared raw data, but it was incomplete and could not be verified. The Editor in Chief, therefore, has lost confidence in the findings of this article. The author does not agree to this retraction.
