The authors retract the article “Paving towards Strategic Investment Decision: A SWOT Analysis of Renewable Energy in Bangladesh” by Karim et al. [1].
Following publication, concerns were brought to the attention of the publisher and the authors regarding overlap with an unpublished research project previously submitted to a university, with different authorship.
An investigation was conducted by Monash University that confirmed significant overlap with a previously unpublished research project, following edits made by the fourth author. All the co-authors, apart from the fourth author, state that they were unaware of this issue at the time of publication.
This retraction was approved by the Editor-in-Chief of the journal Sustainability.
The authors agreed to this retraction. The authors apologize to the editors and to readers of the journal for the difficulties that this has caused.
