Retraction and Correction Policy

The journal is dedicated to the dissemination of original, rigorous, and reliable research. However, on occasion, it may be necessary to retract or amend an article due to errors or inconsistencies that have been identified. To ensure a transparent and fair process, the following guidelines are established:

1. Retraction:
   Articles will be retracted if they present significant inaccuracies or if the research is ethically or factually questionable. Corrected publications will be identified with an explanatory note indicating the reason for the retraction.

2. Correction:
   Articles with minor errors that do not compromise the study's conclusions will be corrected. Each correction will be highlighted with a description of the error and the correction applied.

3. Evaluation:
   Each request for retraction or correction will be evaluated by the editorial team. The author(s) will be contacted and given an opportunity to respond.

4. Notification:
   Once a decision on a retraction or correction is made, the author(s), the readership, and any affiliated institutions will be informed.

5. Mitigation:
   The journal will implement strategies to prevent inaccuracies or ethical issues, optimizing the peer review process and requiring authors to submit a declaration of integrity and originality.

These guidelines reinforce the journal's commitment to academic integrity and the dissemination of excellent and reliable research.
