Hello. Although I am not suggesting anything (I am merely asking questions), I am putting some publicly available information here. Can someone provide more information about this?
1 - A study by Patti Williams, Nicole Verrochi Coleman, Andrea C. Morales, and Ludovica Cesareo (2018) - "Connections to Brands That Help Others versus Help the Self: The Impact of Incidental Awe and Pride on Consumer Relationships with Social-Benefit and Luxury Brands" has been retracted. Here is the retraction info: https://retractionwatch.com/2020/06/24/consumer-research-study-is-retracted-for-unexplained-anomalies/
Summary: 1st, 3rd, and 4th authors retracted the paper. All data was collected and analyzed by the 2nd author.
2 - Patti Williams was Nicole Coleman's committee chair/advisor. Sources: https://faculty.wharton.upenn.edu/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/pw-vitae-April-2017.pdf, and the JCR paper what was a Co-Winner of Ferber Award (award to papers based on doctoral dissertations): http://www.ejcr.org/ferberaward.htm (see year 2014 and the paper).
3 - Nicole Coleman's faculty page (https://www.business.pitt.edu/people/nicole-verrochi-coleman) lists several publications (and working papers) with Patti Williams and Andrea Morales - examples include https://academic.oup.com/jcr/article/44/2/283/2939533, https://academic.oup.com/jcr/article/46/1/99/5049929. The retracted article is still on her page.
4 - When you go to Andrea C. Morales updated CV or page (https://wpcarey.asu.edu/people/profile/837523), NO research with Nicole Coleman is listed. Nothing. Just do a Ctrl+F and search for Coleman. The same is true for Morales' Google Scholar Page: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=_eZDZvYAAAAJ&hl=en. There are no mentions to the publications or working papers.
5 - The same is true for Patti Williams' page (https://marketing.wharton.upenn.edu/profile/pattiw/#research). The ferber award paper is there, but nothing else. All disappeared. http://scholar.google.com/citations?user=Rh121jwAAAAJ&hl=en
6 - I couldn't access Coleman's Google Scholar Citations page.
A new marketing / consumer research scandal on sight?

Wow
Fraud into those awardsAM'a accolades, how many of these should be retracted as her paper was?
The 40 Under 40 Most Outstanding MBA Professors from Poets & Quants (2016), the W.P. Carey Outstanding Teaching Award (2011, 2015) and W.P. Carey Outstanding Doctoral Faculty Award (2013) and W.P. Carey Outstanding Research Award (2012, 2018), the Erin Anderson Award for Emerging Female Mktg Scholar and Mentor (2013) and the Victoria Foundation, Dr. Eugene Garcia, Outstanding Latino Faculty for the State of Arizona: Research in Higher Education Award (2011). -
AS seems solid, no?
This paper (https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0022243718821960#_i32) has also been removed from Andrew Stephen's Google Scholar (https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=WE9bytEAAAAJ&view_op=list_works&sortby=pubdate).
The question is: why?
BTW: he'll be one of the JCR co-editors (2021-2023)
I expect open science practices will become mandatory very soon -
No

Another retraction for JS: https://doi.org/10.1509/jmr.11.0246.
So that's two retractions (other one here: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11002-012-9215-0), and two Expressions of Concern (https://doi.org/10.1177/09567976211058727 and https://doi.org/10.1177/00222429211026311)...

Is this the first ever JMR retraction?

Why is there NEVER a proper explanation of the actual anomaly? This is so vague:
In order to review the concerns raised to the journal with only the published table and corrected table, but no data, the independent panel examined the rightmost digits in the reported data of the published table—a standard method of detecting data fraud (Mosimann, Wiseman, and Edelman 1995). The panel found that the published table, as the complaints had suggested, is inconsistent with the data process that generated the data

Nope, Smeesters had one:

The "we don't retract even when people make up numbers in a spreadsheet" (https://twitter.com/EikoFried/status/1429116045445550081) journal is JM, not JMR.
Is this the first ever JMR retraction?

Oh, got it. Thanks!
