The journal is committed to maintaining the integrity and accuracy of the scientific record. If significant errors, ethical issues, or instances of misconduct are identified in a published article, the journal may issue a correction, expression of concern, or retraction as deemed appropriate by the editorial board. All actions are taken transparently, with clear explanations provided to readers, ensuring that the scholarly record remains trustworthy and reliable.
If authors detect a significant error or deficiency in their manuscript during the review process, or if such issues are brought to their attention by the editor, subject editor, or reviewers, they may contact the Editor-in-Chief to request withdrawal of the article, providing a clear explanation of the reason. The final decision regarding withdrawal or retraction rests with the editorial board, which evaluates each case carefully to uphold ethical standards, fairness, and the quality of published content.
