Retractation and Correction
The journal is dedicated to the dissemination of original, rigorous, and reliable research. However, occasionally, it may be imperative to rectify or amend an article due to detected errors or inconsistencies. To ensure a transparent and fair process, we establish the following guidelines:
-
Retraction: Works will be retracted if they present significant inaccuracies or if the research is questionable in terms of ethics or veracity. Retracted publications will be identified with an explanatory note stating the reason.
-
Correction: Articles containing minor errors that do not compromise the study's conclusions will be corrected. Each correction will be noted with a description of the error and the applied correction.
-
Evaluation: Each request for retraction or correction will be evaluated by the editorial team. Communication will be established with the author(s), providing them an opportunity to respond.
-
Communication: Upon reaching a decision regarding a retraction or correction, the author(s), the readership, and affiliated institutions will be informed.
-
Mitigation: The journal will implement strategies to prevent inaccuracies or ethical dilemmas, optimizing peer review and requesting a declaration of integrity and originality from authors.
These guidelines reinforce the journal's commitment to academic integrity and the dissemination of excellent and reliable research.
