By this notice, the Editor in chief of the International Journal of Molecular and Cellular Medicine (IJMCM) retracts from publication the following review article: "Roles of renin-angiotensin system in the regulation of prostate cancer bone metastasis: a critical review" authored by Tran Tien Manh due to duplicate submission. The manuscript was submitted to IJMCM on 11 August 2021 and accepted on 7 December 2021. The author was asked on 29 December 2021 through the process of proof finalization whether he performed a duplicate publication to Annals of Urologic Oncology which published a similar article 2021, 4(1): 31-41. https://doi.org/10.32948/auo.2021.10.20 (submitted 31 Aug 2021; accepted 7 Oct 2021; published online: 15 Oct 2021), or any unauthorized publication underwent with that journal. According to authors' explanations, it appeared that he deliberately made a duplicate submission which is unethical and a case of self-plagiarism that causes a waste of editorial and reviewers time and resources, and avoids other authors to publish their manuscript by unfairly taking up limited journal space. The author still claims that this duplicate submission was unintended and an unexpected accident. The Editor in chief apologizes to the readership for this unfortunate incident and any inconvenience caused.
