“…This recent incident of intellectual property theft by Finelli,11 although rare, might not be unique (Smith 2006). The literature shows at least three similar documented incidents of reviewers who plagiarized text during peer review and used it as their own, but after they had been caught, the offending authors had to retract their articles (Sticklen 2010;Yan et al 2015;Khan et al 2015). Table 1 shows the details of the retraction notices of these three incidents.…”

Authors endure considerable hardship carrying out biomedical research, from generating ideas to completing their manuscripts and submitting their findings and data (as is increasingly required) to a journal. When researchers submit to journals, they entrust their findings and ideas to editors and peer reviewers who are expected to respect the confidentiality of peer review. Inherent trust in peer review is built on the ethical conduct of authors, editors and reviewers, and on the respect of this confidentiality. If such confidentiality is breached by unethical reviewers who might steal or plagiarize the authors' ideas, researchers will lose trust in peer review and may resist submitting their findings to that journal. Science loses as a result, scientific and medical advances slow down, knowledge may become scarce, and it is unlikely that increasing bias in the literature will be detected or eliminated. In such a climate, society will ultimately be deprived from scientific and medical advances. Despite a rise in documented cases of abused peer review, there is still a relative lack of qualitative and quantitative studies on reviewer-related misconduct, most likely because evidence is difficult to come by. Our paper presents an assessment of editors' and reviewers' responsibilities in preserving the confidentiality of manuscripts during the peer review process, in response to a 2016 case of intellectual property theft by a reviewer. Our main objectives are to propose additional measures that would offer protection of authors' intellectual ideas from predatory reviewers, and increase researchers' awareness of the responsible reviewing of journal articles and reporting of biomedical research.

Due to their direct energy bandgaps and other unique structural, electrical, and optical properties, II-VI binary semiconductors have piqued the interest of many technological applications, including spintronics, optoelectronics, solar cells, photovoltaic cells, photodetectors, light-emitting diodes, and so on. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] For example, ZnSe and its alloys are appealing materials for lightemitting diodes and laser diodes. These days, mercury-cadmium telluride is widely used in infrared detector arrays. Because of their nonlinear properties, CdS, CdSe, and CdTe, as well as their alloys, have sparked intense interest for their use in photovoltaic devices and other optoelectronics applications. [8][9][10][11][12][13] Depending on the synthesis conditions, CdX (X = S, Se, and Te) semiconductors can crystallize into various structures, including wurtzite and zinc-blende. Theoretical investigations predicted that CdX (S, Se, and Te) semiconductors are stable in both the zinc-blende and wurtzite phases, whereas experimental studies revealed that for CdS and CdSe, the wurtzite phase is stable, and CdTe is stable in the zinc-blende structure. [14][15][16][17][18][19][20] The present study examines both the zinc-blende and wurtzite forms of CdX semiconductors.CdX (X = S, Se, and Te) semiconductors have been studied extensively for various potential applications. [21][22][23] Theoretically, numerous works based on ab initio approaches have examined the structural, electronic, elastic, and optical properties of these chalcogenides so far. Guo and co-workers have studied the electronic, mechanical, optical, and thermodynamical properties of CdS, CdSe, and CdTe in the cubic zinc-blende crystal structure. [24] Boutaiba and co-workers investigated the relativistic effects on the fundamental properties of binary semiconductors CdX (X = S, Se, and Te) such as structural, electronic, optical, and transport properties. [25] The electronic structures of the abovementioned binary semiconductors were examined by John et al. in both the wurtzite and zinc-blende forms. [26] The behavior of the electronic, elastic, and lattice dynamical properties of the CdX (X = S, Se, and Te) semiconductors under pressure was investigated by Deligoz et al. [27] Yamçiçier and co-workers studied the transition mechanism of the wurtzite phase of CdTe under high pressure and found that wurtzite CdTe undergoes a phase transition at high pressures of 10 and 140 GPa to zinc-blende and orthorhombic structures, respectively. [28] The stability, electronic, and optical properties of CdTe under hydrostatic pressure were examined by Liu and co-workers. [29] Recently, the electronic, optical, and thermoelectric properties of CdX (X = S, Se, and Te) monolayers were reported by Naseri et al. [30] Mohanta and co-workers investigated the elastic, piezoelectric, electron, and phonon transport properties of hexagonal buckled CdX (X = S, Se) monolayers using the first-principles method. They predicted ultralow lattice thermal conductivity of 1.08 and 0.75 W m À1 K...
