    Recently, the authors in the article [h] "Zuoshi Xie and Chengmin Hou, Properties of right fractional sum and right fractional difference operators and application, Advances in Difference Equations (2015) 2015:288" claimed that they introduced the right fractional sum and the right fractional difference for the first time and they gave the proof of their properties. In fact they defined the right fractional sum and difference operator in the delta sense and denoted by "$~_{b}\nabla^{-\nu}$" and "$~_{b}\nabla^{\nu}$", respectively. The authors in [a] introduced exactly the same in early 2011 and denoted by "$\nabla^{-\alpha}_b$" and "$\nabla^{\alpha}_b$", respectively. Then, the author in [b]continued the study of these operators. It is obvious that most of the results given in [h] are repetition to what was done in \cite{a} and \cite{b} and no citation was given to them. Moreover, T. Abdeljawad in [d]and \cite{e} studied right and left delta and nabla fractional sums and differences within dual identities ($\Delta_a^{-\alpha}, ~_{b}\Delta^{-\alpha}, \nabla_a^{-\alpha}, ~_{b}\nabla^{-\alpha})$ and $\Delta_a^\alpha, ~_{b}\Delta^\alpha, \nabla_a^\alpha, ~_{b}\nabla^\alpha$) and he related the left and right ones  by the $Q-$ operator to confirm his definitions. Furthermore, right  delta and nabla fractional sums have been studied more extensively, in [c], [f] and [g]. Finally, it is noted  that none of the references [a]-[g] have been cited in [h].
