Unearthing the misconduct and inaccuracies in social science research: a trend analysis of retracted articles based on retraction watch database
Authors: Basumatary Bwsrang , Verma Manoj Kumar 
Published: October 2024

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to comprehensively analyze the research article retractions in social sciences over the past decade (2014–2023).

Design/methodology/approach
The study used scientometric methods to evaluate the prevalence, patterns and factors contributing to social sciences article retractions. Bibliographic data of retracted articles were collected from the Retraction Watch Database under an agreement signed with the database. Further, citations of the retracted articles were collected from Scopus and Google Scholar. The analysis encompasses performance assessment and citation-based analysis to reveal the trend of retraction and scrutinize the impact of retracted articles.

Findings
Over the past decade, article retractions have shown dynamic trends, with notable fluctuations in recent years. Further, investigating the time taken for article retraction reveals the urgency of addressing issues identified soon after publication. Scientific misconduct and publication-related concerns emerge as primary factors leading to retractions. Countries such as Russia, the USA, China and publishers such as Elsevier and Taylor and Francis led in the retractions of social science articles. A significant portion of retracted works had garnered academic attention prior to retraction and even after retraction.

Originality/value
This study can contribute to a better understanding among scholars and stakeholders of the trends and reasons for retractions of research articles in the social sciences.

Authors: Bishkhorloo Boldsuren , Choijilsuren Nyamgerel , Yoshiaki Shibata , Mohammad Reza Sarkar Arani , Masanobu Sakamoto 
Published: October 2024

PurposeTeachers’ responses to students’ mistakes vary based on their countries’ social culture. We investigated the cultural script in a Mongolian lesson on teachers’ responses to students' mistakes.Design/methodology/approachWe employed transcript-based lesson analyses and cultural transcript approaches. We gathered data from a Mongolian lesson and analysed the transcripts, emphasising the students’ mistakes.FindingsWe avoided drawing conclusions and offering recommendations on the shortcomings of Mongolian lessons because our approach was from a cultural standpoint. The teacher of our research lesson and interviewee teachers placed less emphasis on working with students' mistakes than other elements of teaching. They tended to ignore or merely acknowledge the students’ mistakes in order to continue the lesson as planned. During our discussions, we explored the potential relationship between the behaviourist approach and the way teachers handle their students' mistakes. We also considered how the subject matter might influence the types of mistakes. These findings could guide future research in this area.Research limitations/implicationsThough we tried to enhance the representativeness of our study with interviews, we were not satisfied with the qualitative analysis. Future research should focus more on conducting interviews and discussions with Mongolian and Japanese educators to incorporate cross-cultural perspectives. It will provide valuable insights for successfully adapting lesson studies in Mongolia.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors’ knowledge, there has been no international publication on Mongolian lesson studies on students’ mistakes. The cultural perspective of Mongolian lessons may be valuable to a global audience given the uniqueness of the Euro-Asian nomadic culture that is fast adapting to urbanisation in the globalising world.

Published: October 2024

PurposeThis study investigates the impact of the European Union-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) on Vietnam’s labor market and employment outcomes, considering the potential distributional consequences across various groups of workers and regions.Design/methodology/approachA comprehensive quantitative framework is employed, combining the gravity model of trade to estimate the EVFTA’s effects on trade flows, the CISAF_M1 model to simulate sectoral employment impacts and econometric models to analyze the effects on wages and decent work. The analysis draws upon a rich dataset spanning the period before and after the EVFTA’s implementation.FindingsThe EVFTA has significantly boosted Vietnam’s exports to the EU, leading to substantial job creation in labor-intensive sectors such as textiles, apparel and footwear. The agreement has also contributed to wage growth and improved access to social insurance for workers in export-oriented industries. However, the impact on other aspects of job quality is less clear. The distributional analysis reveals that the EVFTA’s employment effects have been relatively balanced across gender but have favored younger and less skilled workers as well as those in rural areas.Originality/valueThis study provides a comprehensive and nuanced assessment of the EVFTA’s impact on Vietnam’s labor market, addressing a gap in the literature on the employment effects of new-generation free trade agreements in developing countries. The findings highlight the importance of considering distributional aspects when evaluating the socioeconomic implications of trade liberalization and offer valuable insights for policymakers aiming to promote inclusive growth in the context of deepening international economic integration.Peer reviewThe peer review history for this article is available at: https://publons.com/publon/10.1108/IJSE-03-2024-0236

Published: October 2024

PurposeWhile cyberloafing has emerged as a prevalent issue in numerous workplaces, research on its consequences is still underdeveloped, highlighting a need for further exploration and analysis. Drawing upon the cognitive appraisal theory of emotion, this study investigates the influence of coworkers' cyberloafing on employees' workplace incivility, mediated by negative emotions and moderated by task interdependence.Design/methodology/approachIn Study 1, the hypothesized research model was tested utilizing three-wave time-lagged survey data collected from 333 employees and their coworkers. In Study 2, an additional sample of 274 employees was surveyed. Data were analyzed using hierarchical regression analysis and the bootstrap method.FindingsThe results indicated that coworkers' cyberloafing positively influenced employees' workplace incivility, with this relationship mediated by negative emotions. Additionally, task interdependence was found to positively moderate both the direct relationship between coworkers' cyberloafing and negative emotions and the indirect path from coworkers' cyberloafing to employees' workplace incivility through negative emotions.Practical implicationsThis study helps managers gain a deeper understanding of cyberloafing's effects, enabling them to manage and curb it more effectively.Originality/valuePrior research has predominantly explored the effects of cyberloafing on its implementers. However, this study innovatively shifts focus to the observer perspective, empirically demonstrating whether and how coworkers' cyberloafing affects employees' workplace incivility, enriching and expanding the existing literature.

Authors: Calvo-Mora Arturo , Pedro Eugénia de Matos , Suárez Eva 
Published: October 2024

PurposeIndustry 4.0 (I4.0) technologies and practices are changing the way quality is managed in organizations, giving rise to the movement known as “Quality 4.0” (Q4.0). In this context, this study aims to analyze the barriers organizations face when trying to implement Q4.0 and to examine whether there are significant differences according to size, sector, level of excellence and degree of readiness for Q4.0 implementation.Design/methodology/approachThe sample comprises 107 Spanish organizations with some form of European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM) excellence recognition system. The methodology includes multivariate techniques (factor analysis and mean difference analysis).FindingsThe study has managed to summarize the ten main barriers to the implementation of Q4.0 identified in the literature in three groups: organizational (five barriers), knowledge (two barriers) and technological (three barriers). The main barriers are the high investment in technology required to implement Q4.0 and the need for more training and competence of workers. In addition, SMEs encounter more significant technological barriers when implementing Q4.0 than large companies. However, organizational and knowledge barriers are the same. Organizations in the service sector come across more organizational and knowledge barriers to implementing Q4.0 than industrial organizations; no differences were identified for technological barriers. The higher the EFQM seal of excellence achieved, the lower the knowledge barriers faced, with no differences in organizational and technological barriers. Finally, it is observed that the more prepared organizations are to implement Q4.0, the lower the barriers they face.Research limitations/implicationsThe study helps managers identify the barriers they may encounter when implementing Q4.0, which helps design short- and long-term plans to mitigate or break down these barriers.Originality/valueThe study provides empirical evidence on an organization’s barriers to implementing Q4.0. On the other hand, the barriers are related to some of the relevant characteristics that define the organizations, such as their size, the sector of activity, their level of excellence and their degree of preparation for implementing Q4.0.

Abstract

With recent advances in technology and modelling, ecologists are increasingly advised to use microclimate, not the usual coarse scale macroclimate based on weather stations, to better reflect the proximal conditions that species experience. This is especially relevant in forest ecosystems, where natural disturbances and management create substantial heterogeneity in microclimates. Under dense canopies, species may experience buffered (less extreme) microclimate temperatures relative to macroclimate, as well as increased relative humidity, reduced light and wind.

Focusing on understorey plants, we investigated species response curves to the buffering capacity of the canopy layer, measured as the log‐transformed slope parameter of the microclimate to macroclimate linear relationship. If lower or higher than zero, microclimate temperatures are buffered or amplified, respectively, relative to macroclimate.

During leaf‐on conditions (July–September 2021), we measured hourly microclimate temperatures in 157 plots across three temperate deciduous forests with contrasted macroclimates. We used paired hourly macroclimate measurements from nearby weather stations to derive the slope parameter, quantifying microclimate buffering.

We surveyed vascular plant and bryophyte communities in 400 m2 plots centred on our microclimate sensors. Species were classified into three groups of forest affinity: core specialists; edge specialists; and generalists. We fitted generalized linear mixed‐effects models, by forest affinity group and by species, to obtain logistic response curves of the probability of occurrence against microclimate buffering. The species' optimum was computed as the microclimate effect that maximizes the species' probability of presence.

We found contrasted microclimate preferences: Most bryophytes as well as the vascular plants classified as forest core specialists had an optimum in microclimate buffering, while forest edge specialists and generalists among vascular plants had an optimum in microclimate amplification. As canopies undergo increased disturbance frequency and intensity, more generalists and less forest core specialists might thus be expected in understorey communities, especially for bryophytes.

Synthesis. Understorey plants have a species‐specific affinity to the forest microclimate, which we quantify for the first time. The investigation of species response curves to microclimate processes—buffering or amplification—can improve our understanding of the ecology of understorey plants, and help us anticipate their redistribution under climate change.
THE FORMAL PRODUCTION OF INFORMAL HOUSING FOR THE RICH: Informality Pathways in the Eastern Hills of Bogotá
Authors: Vieda Martínez Sergio 
Published: October 2024

AbstractHousing informality in wealthy contexts is an overlooked phenomenon, particularly in the global South. This article addresses the role of public institutions in the production of housing informality among the wealthy. For this purpose, it analyses the operation of public institutions in relation to the proliferation of luxurious villas in the eastern hills of Bogotá. Three villas were selected as archetypes of informal urbanization among the elite in the eastern hills, and their stories—or informality pathways—were reconstructed through interviews, maps and policy documents. The article aims to unveil how public institutions have contributed to the creation of informal spaces, often in collusion with private entities. Specifically, public institutions demonstrated conflicting internal agencies and multi‐level fragmentation, resulting in flexible regulations tailored to fit the construction practices of the elite. These characteristics were instrumental in establishing spaces of exception for the wealthy in the eastern hills of Bogotá and will likely be mirrored in other informal settlements in the global South.

Published: October 2024

AbstractThe acceptance of nonconventional solvents as viable substitutes for traditional organic solvents has been widely recognized in order to comply with food‐safety and sustainability regulations. Cyclodextrins (CDs), derived from starch, are cyclic oligosaccharides with the ability to form inclusion complexes with a variety of functional substances as the result of their distinctive structure, which enables them to effectively encapsulate bioactive compounds, rendering them highly sought after for use in food applications. In the implementing plan to achieve carbon‐neutral emissions by 2050, the novel generation of supramolecular deep eutectic solvents (SUPRADES) has garnered increased attention and interest. The approach of utilizing SUPRADES as emerging solvents was just beginning to be applied to food studies. This review summarizes a revision of the current advances and critical evaluation of cyclodextrin‐based SUPRADES (CD‐based SUPRADES) as promising solvents for the enhancement of the extraction efficiency, solubilization and stability of bioactive compounds, adsorption and separation of food components, packaging materials, and modification of biopolymers. To meet the sustainable processing needs of the food industry, the emerging categories of CD‐based SUPRADES need to be further fabricated. Herein, our review will sort out the potential application of CD‐based SUPRADES in the food industry, aiming to provide a better understanding of CD‐based SUPRADES within the viewpoint of food science. Formulation intricacies and scalability issues in real functional foods using CD‐based SUPRADES as media need more efforts.
Understanding of formation, gastrointestinal breakdown, and application of whey protein emulsion gels: Insights from intermolecular interactions
Authors: Zhang Yihan , Han Menghan , Guo Qing 
Published: October 2024

AbstractWhey protein emulsion gel is an ideal model food for revealing how the multilength scale food structures affect food digestion, as their structure and mechanical properties can be precisely manipulated by controlling the type and intensity of intermolecular interactions between protein molecules. However, there are still significant understanding gaps among intermolecular interactions, protein aggregation and gelation, emulsion gel formation, gel breakdown in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), and the practical use of whey protein emulsion gels, which limits their GIT‐targeted applications. In this regard, the relationship between the structure and digestion behavior of heat‐set whey protein emulsion gels is reviewed and discussed mainly from the following aspects: (1) structural characteristics of whey protein molecules; (2) how different types of intermolecular interactions influence heat‐induced aggregation and gelation of whey protein in the aqueous solutions and the oil‐in‐water emulsions, and the mechanical properties of the final gels; (3) functions of the mouth, the stomach, and the small intestine in processing of solid foods, and how different types of intermolecular interactions influence the breakdown properties of heat‐set whey protein emulsion gels in GIT (i.e., their respective role in controlling gel digestion). Finally, the implications of knowledge derived from the formation and gastrointestinal breakdown of heat‐set whey protein emulsion gels for developing controlled delivery vehicles, human satiety enhancers, and sensory modifiers are highlighted.
Electrospun gelatin/tea polyphenol@pullulan nanofibers for fast‐dissolving antibacterial and antioxidant applications

Published: October 2024

AbstractBio‐based active food packaging materials have a high market demand. We use coaxial electrospinning technology to prepare core–shell structured nanofibers with sustained antibacterial and antioxidant properties. The fiber core layer was composed of gelatin and tea polyphenols, whereas tea polyphenols provide antibacterial and antioxidant properties; the fiber sheath was composed of pullulan polysaccharides with antioxidant properties. By using a scanning electron microscope, it can be seen that the diameter distribution of the prepared nanofibers was uniform and the surface is smooth; using a transmission electron microscope, it can be clearly seen that the nanofibers have a core–shell structure; Fourier Transform Infrared and X‐ray diffraction analysis indicate that the nanofibers have an amorphous structure; the 2,2‐diphenyl‐1‐picrylhydrazyl free radical scavenging shows that nanofibers have higher antioxidant properties with the addition of tea polyphenols; antibacterial test showed that nanofibers had obvious inhibitory effect on the growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli; and the nanofiber film dissolution test shows that nanofibers can be used as fast soluble active packaging. Finally, core–sheath‐structured nanofibers can serve as active packaging for instant food, possessing both rapid water solubility and excellent antibacterial and antioxidant activity, making water‐soluble nanofibers interesting applications in the field of food packaging.
