Abstract

We, the Editors and Publisher of Cogent Education, as requested by the authors, have retracted the following article:

Li Wang & Jianchun Dai (2024) An investigation into Chinese university EFL teachers' professional identity tensions from a dissonance theory perspective, Cogent Education, 11:1, DOI: 10.1080/2331186X.2024.2320465

Since publication, the authors notified the journal of a significant mistake in their data analysis, which calls the results of the article into question, and requested retraction of the article. The Editor and the Publisher agree with this assessment. As verifying the validity of published work is core to the integrity of the scholarly record, we are therefore retracting the article.

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

The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as ‘Retracted’.
