‘We, the Editors and Publisher of the Behaviour & Information Technology, have retracted the following article:

Tian-Chang Miao, Chuan-Hua Gu, Shengyingjie Liu & Z. K. Zhou (2020) Internet literacy and academic achievement among Chinese adolescent: a moderated mediation model, Behaviour & Information Technology, DOI: 10.1080/0144929X.2020.1831074

Since publication, significant concerns have been raised about the fact that this article has substantial overlap with the following article, particularly in the results and discussion sections:

Yin, L., Wang, P., Nie, J. et al. Social networking sites addiction and FoMO: The mediating role of envy and the moderating role of need to belong. Curr Psychol 40, 3879–3887 (2021). https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12144-019-00344-4

Upon query, the author has not been able to provide a satisfactory explanation for this significant level of overlap. As this is a serious breach of our Editorial Policies, we are retracting the article from the journal. The authors do not agree with the retraction.

We have been informed in our decision-making by our policy on publishing ethics and integrity and the COPE guidelines on retractions.

The retracted articles will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but they will be digitally watermarked on each page as “Retracted”.’
