Retraction and Correction

At Academia Publications, we are committed to maintaining the integrity of scientific literature. In cases where errors or misconduct are identified in published work, we adhere to clear guidelines for retraction and correction to ensure the accuracy and reliability of our scholarly content.

Guidelines for Retraction of Articles Due to Errors or Misconduct

Academia Publications may retract an article under the following circumstances:

• Serious Errors: If substantial errors are identified that undermine the article’s conclusions, such as in data or methodology.
• Research Misconduct: If an article is found to contain plagiarism, data fabrication, falsification, or other ethical violations.
• Violation of Ethical Standards: In cases where the study fails to meet the necessary ethical standards, including issues with human or animal rights.

Retracted articles will remain available on the journal’s website, but they will be clearly marked with a retraction notice that explains the reason for the retraction. The goal of retraction is to preserve the scholarly record while notifying readers about the compromised validity of the findings.

Procedures for Issuing Corrections and Errata

Corrections and errata are issued when minor errors or omissions are identified in a published article, but these do not significantly affect the conclusions of the study. Academia Publications follows the below procedures:

• Notification: The authors or reviewers should notify the editorial team about the identified error as soon as possible.
• Assessment: The editorial board will review the issue to determine if a correction or erratum is needed.
• Publication of Correction/Erratum: If a correction is warranted, it will be published on the journal’s website, along with the original article. A note will be included that details the nature of the error and the correction made.

We encourage authors to notify the editorial team promptly if any issues arise after publication. All corrections and errata will be handled transparently to maintain the credibility of the published work.

This Retraction and Correction Policy ensures that any necessary actions for retracting or correcting articles are taken following best practices, upholding the standards of academic publishing while maintaining transparency.
