Abstract:
We, the editors and publisher of Journal of Mental Health, have retracted the following article: Garner, B., Kinderman, P., & Davis, P. (2021). 'The "rhetorical concession": a linguistic analysis of debates and arguments in mental health', DOI: 10.1080/09638237.2021.2022631Since publication, a conflict of interest has been brought to our attention. Blog 'F', which is one of a series of blogs analysed in this paper, has been identified as the blog of Peter Kinderman, co-author of the paper. This conflict of interest was not disclosed upon submission of the article, and we consequently believe that this compromises the reliability of the reviews and the paper's findings. We are therefore retracting the article.Our decision has been informed by our policy on publishing ethics and integrity and the COPE guidelines on retractions. The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as 'Retracted'. .
