It has come to our attention that there are concerns regarding the authorship and provenance of the article; as a result, the article's findings cannot be relied upon. The decision to retract has been informed by COPE’s guidelines on retractions and Emerald’s publishing ethics. Emerald's authorship policy guidelines make it clear that authorship is a fundamental aspect of transparency in the publication process and ensures accountability and responsibility for reported research.
