Comment on "Energy levels, oscillator strengths, and transition probabilities for sulfur-like scandium, Sc~VI" by El-Maaref et al.\, [Indian J. Phys. {\bf 91} 1029 (2017)]

Abstract

In this comment, through our independent calculations, we assess that the recently reported results of El-Maaref et al. [{\em Indian J. Phys.} {\bf 91} 1029 (2017)] for energy levels, oscillator strengths, radiative rates, and lifetimes are inaccurate and unreliable for several levels and transitions of S-like Sc~VI.

This Comment of 7 pages will appear in the 2020 issue of Indian Journal of Physics
