Assessment of antimicrobial and anthelmintic activity of silver nanoparticles bio-synthesized from Viscum orientale leaf extract

I was going through research articles and found that the authors have published the same data in two different journals, as cited above. Here, I am concerned about Figure 5 of the above cited BMC Complementary Medicine and Therapies paper and Figure 4 of the above cited Frontiers in Chemistry paper.

Importantly, both the papers have been published by the same research group (Dugganaboyana et al and Kumar et al). The authors have published the same FTIR data (Figure 5 of BMC and Figure 4 of Frontiers), claiming the data obtained using nanoparticles prepared from two different plant extracts.

It is important to note that these authors might be misleading the scientific community by duplicating and representing the same data in two different papers in two different journals. The spectra of both the articles look SAME but the authors misled the readers that one is of silver nanoparticles bio-synthesized from Viscum orientale leaf extract and the other one is of silver nanoparticles of Salacia oblonga root extract.

I feel it is a matter of research integrity, and concerns regarding the reliability of the data.

Below are the doi of both the concerned research articles.

1. BMC Complementary Medicine and Therapies (https://doi.org/10.1186/s12906-023-03982-1)
2. Frontiers in Chemistry (https://doi.org/10.3389/fchem.2023.1114109).
