A number of PDB entries have been retracted, either due to fraud or honest mistakes[1].

  • 2012, February: 3k78 was removed from the PDB because it appears to be fraudlent[2][3].
  • 2009 and subsequently, several entries authored by H.M. Krishna Murthy were removed from the PDB as they appear to be fraudulent. Those already removed, as well as those for which removal is pending, are listed at Murthy fraud. See also this list of possibly fraudlent entries co-authored by Murthy. See the statement by the Worldwide PDB[1].
