Corrections and Retractions

Corrections and Retractions

The Journal is committed to ensuring the accuracy and reliability of all published research. In cases where errors or serious violations related to the content of an article are identified after publication, the Editorial Board will conduct a thorough review and implement appropriate measures.

The possible courses of action include:

  • Correction: Applied when minor errors are identified that do not affect the main conclusions of the article. The correction will be published alongside the original article.
  • Expression of Concern: Applied when there are suspicions regarding the integrity or reliability of the article, but insufficient evidence is available to reach a definitive conclusion.
  • Retraction: Applied in cases of serious academic misconduct, such as plagiarism, data fabrication, duplicate publication, or significant errors that compromise the validity of the research conclusions.

In the event of a retraction, a formal retraction notice will be publicly issued on the Journal’s website and linked to the original article to ensure transparency in the scholarly record.
