Submission received: 26 January 2024 / Accepted: 4 February 2024 / Published: 23 February 2024
The journal retracts the article, “Investigation of the Physical Properties of Yarn Produced from Textile Waste by Optimizing Their Proportions” [1] cited above.
Following publication, concerns were brought to the attention of the publisher regarding the published paper [1] which has a significant overlap with a previously written master’s thesis [2], without appropriate citation or acknowledgement.
Adhering to our complaint’s procedure, an investigation was conducted by the Editorial Office, the Editorial Board, and Bahir Dar University who confirmed the extensive and dispersed nature of the overlap, and the article is therefore retracted as per MDPI policy (https://www.mdpi.com/ethics#_bookmark30).
This retraction was approved by the Editor-in-Chief of the journal Sustainability.
The authors did not agree to this retraction.
