We, the Editors and Publisher of the journal Behaviour & Information Technology, have retracted the following article which was part of the Special Issue on Behaviour Monitoring and Management of Customers, People and Organizations using Deep Learning:

Song Wang, Xiaoguang Wang, Fanglin Meng, Rongjun Yang & Yuanjun Zhao (2020) Investor behaviour monitoring based on deep learning, Behaviour & Information Technology, DOI: 10.1080/0144929X.2020.1717627

After publication it came to our attention that the person named as the Guest Editor of the Special Issue was impersonated by a fraudulent entity and the articles were not reviewed fully in line with the journal’s peer review standards and policy. We did not find any evidence of misconduct by the authors. However, in order to ensure full assessment has been conducted, we sought expert advice on the validity and quality of the published articles from independent peer reviewers. Following this post publication peer review, the editor has determined that the articles do not meet the required scholarly standards to remain published in the journal, and therefore has taken the decision to retract the articles. The authors have been informed of this decision.

We have been informed in our decision-making by our policy on publishing ethics and integrity and the COPE guidelines on retractions.

The retracted articles will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but they will be digitally watermarked on each page as ‘Retracted’.

我们，行为与信息技术杂志的编辑和出版商，撤回了以下文章，该文章是关于使用深度学习的客户、人员和组织的行为监控和管理特刊的一部分：

Song Wang, Xiaoguang Wang, Fanglin Meng, Rongjun Yang & Yuanjun Zhao (2020) 基于深度学习的投资者行为监测，行为与信息技术，DOI：10.1080/0144929X.2020.1717627

发表后，我们注意到被指定为特刊客座编辑的人被一个欺诈实体冒充，并且文章没有完全按照期刊的同行评审标准和政策进行评审。我们没有发现任何作者不当行为的证据。但是，为了确保进行了全面评估，我们就已发表文章的有效性和质量向独立同行评审员征求了专家意见。在本次发表后同行评审之后，编辑确定这些文章不符合继续在期刊上发表的学术标准，因此决定撤回这些文章。提交人已被告知这一决定。

在我们的决策过程中，我们已经了解了关于出版道德和诚信的政策以及关于撤回的 COPE 指南。

被撤回的文章将保持在线状态以维护学术记录，但它们将在每页上以数字水印标记为“已撤回”。
