The article of Journal of the Japan Landslide Society, "Residual shear behavior of serpentinite in Shiraishi landslide, Tokushima Prefecture and sliding mechanism" by G. Wang et al., published in Volume 47, Issue 5, pp.265-273, has been retracted by the agreement between the authors and the journal's editorial committee. The retraction has been decided, since most of figures and findings of this article are duplicated with another article published in advance by G. Wang et al., Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Vol.35, pp.407-416, John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2010, and therefore, in violation of journal's policies regarding the prevention of duplicate publication.
