Purpose The study aims to profile the scientific retractions in the top five global universities and provide descriptive statistics on specific subjects. Design/methodology/approach The data for reasons behind retractions is manually extracted from the Retraction Watch Database. The top five global universities according to the Times Higher Education global ranking of 2024 are selected for this study. Findings The study found that Stanford University emerged with the highest number of retractions in the assessment across institutions in the field of basic life sciences and health sciences. Notably, the predominant reasons for these retractions were identified, with “unreliable results” being the most prevalent, accounting for 53 retractions. Following closely was the category of “errors in results and/or conclusions”, contributing to 51 retractions. MIT has the longest time between publication and retraction of any subject group, with an average of 1,701 days. Research limitations/implications This study has some limitations, as it only analysed the retractions of the top five global universities. Originality/value The study provides a comprehensive analysis of retractions in academic publishing, focusing on reasons, time gaps, article types and accessibility categories across prestigious universities. The paper underscores the critical role of retractions in maintaining the integrity of scientific literature, emphasizing the importance of transparent correction and responsible peer review to ensure the reliability and trustworthiness of published research. Results show that common reasons for retractions include duplication, fake peer review and plagiarism, underlining the need for ethical research standards.

Purpose This study aims to examine the associations between the three goals (hedonic, gain and normative) and university students’ proenvironmental behavior. After that, the authors investigate how environmental knowledge acts as a mediator between three goals (hedonic, gain and normative) and proenvironmental behavior. Design/methodology/approach The study used the quantitative approach adopting the goal framing theory (GFT) as the theoretical framework, for analyzing behavior of university students toward environment including both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. The data was gathered through the distribution of a structured questionnaire to private universities in Chattogram and structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data. Findings Hedonic and gain goals have positive effects on students’ proenvironmental behavior while the normative goal has insignificant association. In addition, all the three goals are significantly linked with students’ environmental knowledge. Besides, environmental knowledge significantly mediates the association between three goals and proenvironmental behavior. Practical implications The findings can provide valuable insights for integrating sustainability and environmental education into the formulation and planning of curricular and extra-curricular activities, with an emphasis on students’ intrinsic motivation. Originality/value The mediating role of environmental knowledge between three goals and proenvironmental behavior is the unique contribution of this study.

Purpose This study aims to explore the influence of external factors and the characteristics of young Indian consumers on their behavioral intention toward fashion clothing rental (FCR), using the theory of reasoned action (TRA) as a theoretical framework. Design/methodology/approach This study used quantitative research methods, collecting data from 396 Indian participants, and tested the proposed hypotheses using PLS-structural equation modeling. Findings The results indicated that young Indian consumers' favorable attitudes toward FCR are mainly driven by perceived usefulness, novelty-seeking, fashion orientation, narcissism and environmental consciousness. These drivers, together with subjective norms, further lead to their intention to rent fashion clothing. This study also found that perceived risk has a negative impact on consumers' attitudes toward FCR, but minimalism does not significantly affect consumer attitudes. Originality/value By integrating additional constructs into traditional TRA, this study contributes to existing literature and provides insight for fashion retailers on the role of consumer characteristics in the adoption of FCR in emerging markets.
目的本研究旨在以理性行动理论（TRA）为理论框架，探讨外部因素和印度年轻消费者的特征对其时尚服装租赁（FCR）行为意向的影响。研究结果研究结果表明，印度年轻消费者对 FCR 的好感主要受感知有用性、追求新奇、时尚导向、自恋和环保意识的驱动。这些驱动因素加上主观规范进一步促成了他们租赁时尚服装的意向。本研究还发现，感知到的风险对消费者对 FCR 的态度有负面影响，但极简主义对消费者的态度没有显著影响。原创性/价值通过在传统 TRA 中整合额外的建构，本研究为现有文献做出了贡献，并为时尚零售商提供了关于消费者特征在新兴市场采用 FCR 中的作用的见解。

Purpose This study aims to investigate citizens' adoption intention towards meta-government (metaverse-based government) by proposing a dual-perspective technology acceptance model. Design/methodology/approach The validity of the proposed model was established by gathering and analysing 533 responses using structural equation modelling (SEM). Findings The study findings underscore the importance of perceptions of ease of use and usefulness in fostering the intention to adopt meta-government. However, perceived cyber risk and switching costs negatively impact these perceptions. On the contrary, herd behaviour and perceived immersion positively influence perceptions of ease of use and usefulness. Originality/value This study significantly contributes to the existing literature by offering valuable insights into the factors that influence citizens' adoption of meta-government. It introduces a novel perspective on the primary factors (both enablers and barriers) shaping citizens' adoption intention of meta-government. These insights serve as a foundation for scholars, governments and policymakers to develop effective strategies for promoting meta-government adoption.

Purpose The use of smartphone applications is the primary means by which modern technology improves the experiences of tourists in the tourism industry by bringing novel and superior features. The purpose of this study is to look into and examine the factors that affect tourists’ intention to use technology when looking for information in areas of tourism. Design/methodology/approach This study quantitatively uses online surveys. A total number of 315 questionnaires were collected from the tourism industry in Saudi Arabia. Partial least squares-structural equations model is used to analyze the data to evaluate the measurement and structural models. Findings Results of this study reveal that attitude, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and perceived enjoyment significantly and positively influence the intention of tourists, while customer relationship management and personal innovativeness in technology are insignificant. Furthermore, customer relationship management and personal innovativeness in technology indirectly impact tourists’ intentions. Originality/value This study offers novel insights by comprehensively analyzing the factors that influence tourists' intention to adopt technology in the context of destination information searches. Finding new avenues, the research emphasizes the distinct functions of customer relationship management, personal innovativeness in technology and enjoyment, offering insightful viewpoints for improving technology integration in the tourism industry.
