RETRACTED: Vadera et al. (2025) Prospects for Environmental Management Accounting in the Age of Decarbonization: Focusing on Internal Carbon Pricing

Abstract

The journal retracts the article titled “Prospects for Environmental Management Accounting in the Age of Decarbonization: Focusing on Internal Carbon Pricing” (Vadera et al., 2025).
Following publication, the Editorial Board of Environmental Research, Engineering and Management received credible evidence that substantial portions of this article reproduce, almost verbatim, the content, structure, and conceptual framework of a research paper originally published in Japanese (Wang, 2022). The similarities extend to the analytical sections, the case study, and large parts of the text. After contacting the authors and their institutions, the corresponding author admitted to the issue and agreed to the retraction.
This decision was approved by the Editorial Board on 15 December 2025 and follows COPE guidelines. The original article remains online to maintain the scholarly record but is clearly marked as “Retracted.”
We apologize to readers and the original author for any inconvenience caused.
