Editorial Retraction

Upon a thorough investigation, it has been determined that the paper titled ‘‘An Anatomy of Phishing Messages as Deceiving Persuasion: A Categorical Content and Semantic Network Study’’ by Kunal Sharma published in EDPACS, 2010, Volume 42, Issue 6, pages 1-19 does not present original material. The same study with minor textual variations titled ‘‘An Anatomy of Phishing Messages as Deceitful Persuasion: A Categorical Content and Semantic Network Analysis’’ was written and presented at the National Communication Association Annual Convention 2009 by Jang Hyun Kim, Daejoong Kim, and Sinuk Kang, prior to publication in EDPACS. As a result the article published in EDPACS has been retracted and should not be cited.
