Publishing Malpractice Policy
In situations involving allegations of scientific misconduct, fraudulent publication, or plagiarism, we will promptly investigate the matter and take appropriate action. This may include issuing an erratum for minor errors, retracting the affected publication in more serious cases, or providing clarification through other means. We strictly prohibit substantial overlap between publications or 'self-plagiarism,' although exceptions may be considered by the editor-in-chief under certain conditions, ensuring that the original source is properly cited.
We adhere to COPE's Retraction Guidelines when considering retractions or corrections. Corrigenda are provided for author-made errors, while errata address journal errors. Retractions are initiated for significant errors or plagiarism, following COPE's guidelines: COPE's Retraction Guideline
