Corrections and Retraction Policy

Corrections and Retraction Policy

If there are minor errors, it's critical to find a balance between fixing errors and causing the least amount of inconvenience. Typographical errors, citation errors, and other non-substantive mistakes are examples of minor errors. Contributors are urged to report any errors they identify to the editorial office as soon as possible. After that, the editorial team will evaluate the type and importance of the mistakes. An erratum or correction notice, if necessary, will appear in the next edition. This notification should be brief, outlining the nature of the error and any implications for the article's conclusions or findings.

A more extensive inquiry is required for more serious errors, incorrect data, or ethical issues. Clear communication and cooperation with the corresponding author are required throughout the process. In assessing the importance of the problems and choosing the best course of action, the editorial board is extremely important. The identified issues shall be communicated to the corresponding author as swiftly as possible, along with an opportunity for a response. Open communication with the authors is necessary to guarantee an impartial and thorough evaluation of the circumstances.

The editorial board, which is made up of subject-matter specialists, does an exhaustive evaluation. This entails analyzing the available data, speculating about how it might affect the scientific community, and weighing the ethical consequences. The process of making decisions needs to be open and unbiased. The editorial board determines if a retraction is required or if a correction is adequate based on the review. The goal of corrective actions is to make corrections without sacrificing the article's overall integrity. Retractions are only permitted in situations in which grave ethical misbehaviour is evident and the problems are irreversible.

Readers, subscribers, and indexing services will be quickly notified by the journal if a correction or retraction is deemed required. The article's online version is updated to reflect the retraction or correction, and a comprehensive notification is released. This guarantees the accuracy and dependability of the scientific record. Decisions about retractions or corrections may be appealed by authors. It is crucial to keep everything transparent during the retraction and correction process. Retractions and revisions shall be made clear to readers and the scholarly community. Building trust and reaffirming the journal's commitment to maintaining the highest publication standards.
