Abstract

The Sustainability Editorial Office retracts the article “Prediction of Consumption of Local Wine in Italian Consumers Based on Theory of Planned Behavior” [1] cited above. Following publication, concerns were brought to the attention of the publisher regarding an overlap between this article [1] and an earlier publication [2] originating from a different authorship group. Adhering to our complaint’s procedure, an investigation was conducted by the Editorial Office and Editorial Board that confirmed a significant overlap in terms of the structure, methodology, and main hypotheses presented in this study [1]. Given the level of overlap and the lack of appropriate citation, the Editorial Office and Editorial Board have decided to retract this article [1] as per MDPI’s retraction policy (https://www.mdpi.com/ethics#_bookmark30) and in line with the Committee on Publication Ethics retraction guidelines (https://publicationethics.org/retraction-guidelines). This retraction was approved by the Section Editor-in-Chief of the journal Sustainability. The authors did not agree to this retraction. © 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
