Correction and Retraction Policy

Correction policies

Corrections to published work
Authors are expected to inform the journal’s Editor, by email, of any errors in their article once published. Corrections are made at the journal’s discretion. The correction procedure depends on the publication stage of the article, but in all circumstances a correction notice is published as soon as possible:

 

Online publication
The correction will be incorporated in the article and the corrected version will be added as an erratum.

 

Publication in an issue
If the article has already appeared in an issue, an erratum will be printed in the next available print issue.



Retraction Policies

 

Retractions are considered by journal editor in cases of evidence of unreliable data or findings, plagiarism, duplicate publication, and unethical research. An expression of concern notice may be considered if an article is under investigation. All retraction notices explain why the article was retracted. The retraction procedure depends on the publication stage of the article:

 

Online publication
The PDF will be replaced with a version watermarked with "Retracted" but the original text will remain accessible. A retraction notice will also be published in the next available print issue.

 

Publication in an issue
A retraction notice will also be published in the next available print issue.

In rare cases, we may have to remove the original content for legal reasons. In such cases we will leave the metadata (title and authors) and replace the text with a note saying the article has been removed for legal reasons. A retraction notice will also be published online and/or in print.

DISCLAIMER

The Management hereby declares that we do not have any association/s with any publisher/agency for publication of articles submitted through them. Kindly submit your articles directly through the journal website.
