Article Withdrawal Policy


Last updated: 2024-09-01

International Journal of Machine Design and Manufacturing understands the importance of upholding the integrity and completeness of the scholarly record to benefit researchers and librarians. We are committed to maintaining trust in the authority of our electronic archive.

ijmdm adheres to the fundamental principle of scholarly communication, which places the sole and independent responsibility for deciding which articles to publish with the Journal’s editor. This decision-making process is guided by the policies established by the ijmdm’s editorial board and is subject to legal obligations regarding issues such as libel, copyright infringement, and plagiarism.

Article withdrawal, retraction, removal, or replacement are actions reserved for exceptional circumstances, where clear evidence exists of ethical violations, serious errors, or misconduct in published research articles. The responsibility for deciding which articles to publish lies solely with the editor, who is guided by the ijmdm’s editorial board policies and legal requirements regarding libel, copyright infringement, and plagiarism. Once an article has been published, it becomes part of the scholarly archive, serving as a permanent record of scholarly transactions, and published articles are expected to remain unaltered as much as possible.

Article Withdrawal

Scenerios

  • Ethical violations: If an article is found to contain data fabrication,falsification, or plagiarism, it may be retracted to maintain the integrity of the scientific record.
  • Serious errors: If an article contains serious errors or inaccuracies that invalidate the findings or conclusions, it may be retracted to prevent dissemination of incorrect information.
  • Misconduct: If an author is found to have engaged in scientific misconduct, such as manipulation of data, conflicts of interest, or undisclosed funding sources, the article may be retracted.
  • Legal issues: If an article contains material that infringes on copyright, libel, or other legal issues, it may be removed to prevent legal action against the publisher or author.
  • Safety concerns: If an article contains information that may pose a risk to public health or safety, it may be retracted or removed.

Consequences

  • No withdrawal penalty will apply if the author, conference organizers, or a third party requests manuscript withdrawal within a week of the acknowledgment email.
  • If the manuscript has already been submitted to a ijmdm for processing, the withdrawal request will incur a withdrawal penalty.
  • The author must submit a written letter to ijmdm explaining the reason for withdrawal, along with payment of the Manuscript Withdrawal Charges.
  • ijmdm will provide a formal Manuscript Withdrawal letter to the author only after the withdrawal penalty has been paid in full.
  • Authors are permitted to publish other manuscripts with ijmdm, provided they adhere to submission guidelines.

Measures

  • Ensure that the manuscript does not infringe any copyrights.
  • Obtain consent from all co-authors before submission.
  • Confirm that students and researchers have prior approval from their supervisors before submitting their manuscripts to Journals.
  • Verify that the manuscript has not been partially or fully published in any other Journal.

Article Retraction

Article retraction means that the editor of ijmdm is responsible for deciding whether an article should be retracted. Retractions occur in exceptional cases, such as instances of fraudulent data or unethical research. If retraction is deemed necessary, the Journal will publish a retraction notice that identifies the retracted article and the reason for the retraction. This retraction notice will be linked to the original article and prominently displayed on the ijmdm’s website.

The Journal will also ensure that the retracted article is marked as “retracted” in all versions, including those in the ijmdm’s archives. Additionally, the Journal will inform any indexers or databases that have indexed the article about the retraction.

If the Journal becomes aware of a potential issue with an article, such as data or ethical concerns, it will investigate the matter promptly and take appropriate action, including retraction if necessary.

Scenerios

  • Plagiarism: If an article is found to have plagiarized content from other sources, it may be
    retracted.
  • Data fabrication: If an article is found to have fabricated or falsified data, it may be
    retracted.
  • Ethical violations: If an article is found to have violated ethical standards, such as by
    conducting research on human subjects without proper consent, it may be retracted.
  • Errors or inaccuracies: If an article is found to contain errors or inaccuracies that
    significantly affect the conclusions, it may be retracted.
  • Duplication: If an article is found to be substantially similar to another previously
    published article, it may be retracted as a duplicate publication.
  • Legal Issues: If an article violates copyright laws or contains defamatory content, it may be retracted.

Consequences

Manuscript retraction is a serious matter in scholarly publishing. ijmdm aims to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the scientific record and therefore has established policies to govern the retraction of manuscripts.

  • Retractions may be necessary if:
    • Clear evidence indicates that findings are unreliable or fraudulent, including data fabrication, manipulation, plagiarism, or duplicate publication.
    • There is a serious error or flaw in the study that invalidates the findings.
    • The manuscript was published in error, due to a technical or administrative issue.

In such cases, the retraction process will be initiated by the ijmdm’s editor, in consultation with the author(s) and any relevant third parties. The editor will make the final decision on whether to retract the manuscript, considering input and guidelines from external bodies.

If a manuscript is retracted, it will be marked as such, and a retraction notice will be prominently published in ijmdm’s with a clear explanation of the reasons. The retracted manuscript will remain available online as a historical record but will be marked as retracted, and its content should not be used or cited.

It is important to note that manuscript removal is a last-resort measure. We encourage all authors to adhere to our ethical standards and guidelines to ensure the integrity of our publications.

Article Replacement

ijmdm’s policy regarding article replacement is that it is an uncommon practice, considered only in exceptional cases. If an author identifies a major error in their published article, they should contact the ijmdm’s editorial office to request a correction or retraction.

If the error is significant and cannot be addressed with a simple correction, and the author provides a corrected version, the editorial board may consider replacing the original article. The final decision rests with the editorial board, depending on the error’s nature and its impact on the article.

Please note that article replacement is not a routine practice and is reserved for exceptional circumstances. The Journal may also require a fee to cover replacement costs.

Article Retraction

Article retraction means that the editor of ijfdm is responsible for deciding whether an article should be retracted. Retractions occur in exceptional cases, such as instances of fraudulent data or unethical research. If retraction is deemed necessary, the Journal will publish a retraction notice that identifies the retracted article and the reason for the retraction. This retraction notice will be linked to the original article and prominently displayed on the ijfdm’s website.

The Journal will also ensure that the retracted article is marked as “retracted” in all versions, including those in the ijfdm’s archives. Additionally, the Journal will inform any indexers or databases that have indexed the article about the retraction.

If the Journal becomes aware of a potential issue with an article, such as data or ethical concerns, it will investigate the matter promptly and take appropriate action, including retraction if necessary.

Scenerios

  • Plagiarism: If an article is found to have plagiarized content from other sources, it may be
    retracted.
  • Data fabrication: If an article is found to have fabricated or falsified data, it may be
    retracted.
  • Ethical violations: If an article is found to have violated ethical standards, such as by
    conducting research on human subjects without proper consent, it may be retracted.
  • Errors or inaccuracies: If an article is found to contain errors or inaccuracies that
    significantly affect the conclusions, it may be retracted.
  • Duplication: If an article is found to be substantially similar to another previously
    published article, it may be retracted as a duplicate publication.
  • Legal Issues: If an article violates copyright laws or contains defamatory content, it may be retracted.

Consequences

Manuscript retraction is a serious matter in scholarly publishing. ijfdm aims to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the scientific record and therefore has established policies to govern the retraction of manuscripts.

  • Retractions may be necessary if:
    • Clear evidence indicates that findings are unreliable or fraudulent, including data fabrication, manipulation, plagiarism, or duplicate publication.
    • There is a serious error or flaw in the study that invalidates the findings.
    • The manuscript was published in error, due to a technical or administrative issue.

In such cases, the retraction process will be initiated by the ijfdm’s editor, in consultation with the author(s) and any relevant third parties. The editor will make the final decision on whether to retract the manuscript, considering input and guidelines from external bodies.

If a manuscript is retracted, it will be marked as such, and a retraction notice will be prominently published in ijfdm’s with a clear explanation of the reasons. The retracted manuscript will remain available online as a historical record but will be marked as retracted, and its content should not be used or cited.

Article Removal

Manuscript removal is a serious matter that should only be considered in exceptional circumstances. ijfdm has a policy in place for manuscript removal to ensure the integrity of our publications and to protect the interests of our readers, authors, and publishers.

Removal Process

  • Grounds for Removal: Defamatory, fraudulent, or unethical content, or legal breaches.
  • Notification: Authors and publishers will be notified of potential removal, with a chance to respond.
  • Investigation: ijfdm will investigate the grounds for removal, possibly consulting experts or the editorial board.
  • Decision: If removal is justified, ijfdm will notify authors and publishers with reasons.
  • Consequences: Removed articles will be permanently withdrawn from the archives, and sanctions may be imposed on authors, including submission bans.

Consequences

Manuscript removal will lead to the withdrawal of the article from our publication and its permanent removal from our online archives. We may also impose sanctions on the author(s) and/or publisher(s), including a ban on future submissions to ijfdm.

It is important to note that manuscript removal is a last-resort measure. We encourage all authors to adhere to our ethical standards and guidelines to ensure the integrity of our publications.

Article Replacement

ijfdm’s policy regarding article replacement is that it is an uncommon practice, considered only in exceptional cases. If an author identifies a major error in their published article, they should contact the ijfdm’s editorial office to request a correction or retraction.

If the error is significant and cannot be addressed with a simple correction, and the author provides a corrected version, the editorial board may consider replacing the original article. The final decision rests with the editorial board, depending on the error’s nature and its impact on the article.

Please note that article replacement is not a routine practice and is reserved for exceptional circumstances. The Journal may also require a fee to cover replacement costs.

Scenarios for Replacement

  • Correction of significant errors or omissions in the original article.
  • Addition of new data or findings that substantially alter the article’s conclusions or implications.
  • Revision of methodology or analysis affecting the validity or reliability of results.
  • Replacement of inaccurately or inappropriately presented images or figures.
  • Update of outdated information or references affecting relevance or accuracy.
  • Translation of the article to another language for broader reach.
  • Republishing the article with updated formatting or a new title to improve accessibility.
  • Reprinting the article in an academic collection or anthology.

Expressions of Concern

Expressions of Concern are issued when significant evidence indicates:

    • Unresolved ethical compliance issues.
    • Potential misconduct under investigation.
    • Concerns about data integrity or reliability.
    • Legal disputes impacting the article.
    • Other conditions significantly affect the article’s integrity but do not conclusively warrant withdrawal or retraction at the moment.

Grounds for Issuing an Expression of Concern

Expressions of Concern may be issued in situations where there is significant evidence of:

  • Allegations or evidence of misconduct (e.g., data fabrication, falsification, plagiarism).
  • Pending correction of significant errors or inaccuracies.
  • Ethical issues involving research participants or consent.
  • Disputes over authorship, conflicts of interest, or funding sources affecting findings’ interpretation.
  • Ongoing institutional or third-party investigations without a conclusion.

Process and Resolution

  • Preliminary Assessment: Upon identifying a potential issue, the editorial team conducts an initial assessment and may consult authors, involved institutions, or external experts.
  • Notification and Response: The corresponding author will be notified of the concerns and allowed to respond.
  • Issuing the Expression: If concerns are significant and unresolved, ijfdm will issue an Expression of Concern, detailing the concerns and noting that the issue is under review.
  • Linking and Accessibility: The Expression of Concern will be linked to the original article and accessible to all readers to ensure transparency.

Requesting Article Changes: Withdrawal, Retraction, Removal, and Replacement

To request article withdrawal, replacement, retraction, or removal, follow the guidelines of ijfdm or the publisher where the article was published. The typical process involves the following steps:

    conducting research on human subjects without proper consent, it may be retracted.
  • Errors or inaccuracies: If an article is found to contain errors or inaccuracies that
    significantly affect the conclusions, it may be retracted.
  • Duplication: If an article is found to be substantially similar to another previously
    published article, it may be retracted as a duplicate publication.
  • Legal Issues: If an article violates copyright laws or contains defamatory content, it may be retracted.

Consequences

Manuscript retraction is a serious matter in scholarly publishing. ijlpa aims to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the scientific record and therefore has established policies to govern the retraction of manuscripts.

  • Retractions may be necessary if:
    • Clear evidence indicates that findings are unreliable or fraudulent, including data fabrication, manipulation, plagiarism, or duplicate publication.
    • There is a serious error or flaw in the study that invalidates the findings.
    • The manuscript was published in error, due to a technical or administrative issue.

In such cases, the retraction process will be initiated by the ijlpa’s editor, in consultation with the author(s) and any relevant third parties. The editor will make the final decision on whether to retract the manuscript, considering input and guidelines from external bodies.

If a manuscript is retracted, it will be marked as such, and a retraction notice will be prominently published in ijlpa’s with a clear explanation of the reasons. The retracted manuscript will remain available online as a historical record but will be marked as retracted, and its content should not be used or cited.

Article Removal

Manuscript removal is a serious matter that should only be considered in exceptional circumstances. ijlpa has a policy in place for manuscript removal to ensure the integrity of our publications and to protect the interests of our readers, authors, and publishers.

Removal Process

  • Grounds for Removal: Defamatory, fraudulent, or unethical content, or legal breaches.
  • Notification: Authors and publishers will be notified of potential removal, with a chance to respond.
  • Investigation: ijlpa will investigate the grounds for removal, possibly consulting experts or the editorial board.
  • Decision: If removal is justified, ijlpa will notify authors and publishers with reasons.
  • Consequences: Removed articles will be permanently withdrawn from the archives, and sanctions may be imposed on authors, including submission bans.

Consequences

Manuscript removal will lead to the withdrawal of the article from our publication and its permanent removal from our online archives. We may also impose sanctions on the author(s) and/or publisher(s), including a ban on future submissions to ijlpa.

It is important to note that manuscript removal is a last-resort measure. We encourage all authors to adhere to our ethical standards and guidelines to ensure the integrity of our publications.

Article Replacement

ijlpa’s policy regarding article replacement is that it is an uncommon practice, considered only in exceptional cases. If an author identifies a major error in their published article, they should contact the ijlpa’s editorial office to request a correction or retraction.

If the error is significant and cannot be addressed with a simple correction, and the author provides a corrected version, the editorial board may consider replacing the original article. The final decision rests with the editorial board, depending on the error’s nature and its impact on the article.

Please note that article replacement is not a routine practice and is reserved for exceptional circumstances. The Journal may also require a fee to cover replacement costs.

Scenarios for Replacement

  • Correction of significant errors or omissions in the original article.
  • Addition of new data or findings that substantially alter the article’s conclusions or implications.
  • Revision of methodology or analysis affecting the validity or reliability of results.
  • Replacement of inaccurately or inappropriately presented images or figures.
  • Update of outdated information or references affecting relevance or accuracy.
  • Translation of the article to another language for broader reach.
  • Republishing the article with updated formatting or a new title to improve accessibility.
  • Reprinting the article in an academic collection or anthology.

Expressions of Concern

Expressions of Concern are issued when significant evidence indicates:

    • Unresolved ethical compliance issues.
    • Potential misconduct under investigation.
    • Concerns about data integrity or reliability.
    • Legal disputes impacting the article.
    • Other conditions significantly affect the article’s integrity but do not conclusively warrant withdrawal or retraction at the moment.

Grounds for Issuing an Expression of Concern

Expressions of Concern may be issued in situations where there is significant evidence of:

  • Allegations or evidence of misconduct (e.g., data fabrication, falsification, plagiarism).
  • Pending correction of significant errors or inaccuracies.
  • Ethical issues involving research participants or consent.
  • Disputes over authorship, conflicts of interest, or funding sources affecting findings’ interpretation.
  • Ongoing institutional or third-party investigations without a conclusion.

Process and Resolution

  • Preliminary Assessment: Upon identifying a potential issue, the editorial team conducts an initial assessment and may consult authors, involved institutions, or external experts.
  • Notification and Response: The corresponding author will be notified of the concerns and allowed to respond.
  • Issuing the Expression: If concerns are significant and unresolved, ijlpa will issue an Expression of Concern, detailing the concerns and noting that the issue is under review.
  • Linking and Accessibility: The Expression of Concern will be linked to the original article and accessible to all readers to ensure transparency.

Requesting Article Changes: Withdrawal, Retraction, Removal, and Replacement

To request article withdrawal, replacement, retraction, or removal, follow the guidelines of ijlpa or the publisher where the article was published. The typical process involves the following steps:

Manuscript removal will lead to the withdrawal of the article from our publication and its permanent removal from our online archives. We may also impose sanctions on the author(s) and/or publisher(s), including a ban on future submissions to ijudd.

It is important to note that manuscript removal is a last-resort measure. We encourage all authors to adhere to our ethical standards and guidelines to ensure the integrity of our publications.

Article Replacement

ijudd’s policy regarding article replacement is that it is an uncommon practice, considered only in exceptional cases. If an author identifies a major error in their published article, they should contact the ijudd’s editorial office to request a correction or retraction.

If the error is significant and cannot be addressed with a simple correction, and the author provides a corrected version, the editorial board may consider replacing the original article. The final decision rests with the editorial board, depending on the error’s nature and its impact on the article.

Please note that article replacement is not a routine practice and is reserved for exceptional circumstances. The Journal may also require a fee to cover replacement costs.

Scenarios for Replacement

  • Correction of significant errors or omissions in the original article.
  • Addition of new data or findings that substantially alter the article’s conclusions or implications.
  • Revision of methodology or analysis affecting the validity or reliability of results.
  • Replacement of inaccurately or inappropriately presented images or figures.
  • Update of outdated information or references affecting relevance or accuracy.
  • Translation of the article to another language for broader reach.
  • Republishing the article with updated formatting or a new title to improve accessibility.
  • Reprinting the article in an academic collection or anthology.

Expressions of Concern

Expressions of Concern are issued when significant evidence indicates:

    • Unresolved ethical compliance issues.
    • Potential misconduct under investigation.
    • Concerns about data integrity or reliability.
    • Legal disputes impacting the article.
    • Other conditions significantly affect the article’s integrity but do not conclusively warrant withdrawal or retraction at the moment.

Grounds for Issuing an Expression of Concern

Expressions of Concern may be issued in situations where there is significant evidence of:

  • Allegations or evidence of misconduct (e.g., data fabrication, falsification, plagiarism).
  • Pending correction of significant errors or inaccuracies.
  • Ethical issues involving research participants or consent.
  • Disputes over authorship, conflicts of interest, or funding sources affecting findings’ interpretation.
  • Ongoing institutional or third-party investigations without a conclusion.

Process and Resolution

  • Preliminary Assessment: Upon identifying a potential issue, the editorial team conducts an initial assessment and may consult authors, involved institutions, or external experts.
  • Notification and Response: The corresponding author will be notified of the concerns and allowed to respond.
  • Issuing the Expression: If concerns are significant and unresolved, ijudd will issue an Expression of Concern, detailing the concerns and noting that the issue is under review.
  • Linking and Accessibility: The Expression of Concern will be linked to the original article and accessible to all readers to ensure transparency.

Requesting Article Changes: Withdrawal, Retraction, Removal, and Replacement

To request article withdrawal, replacement, retraction, or removal, follow the guidelines of ijudd or the publisher where the article was published. The typical process involves the following steps:

  1. Contact the Journal: Reach out to the editorial office or customer service department with the article title, author names, and relevant details.
  2. Submit Documentation: Depending on the request, ijudd or the publisher may require a formal request form or additional documentation.

International Journal of Sustainable Building Technology understands the importance of upholding the integrity and completeness of the scholarly record to benefit researchers and librarians. We are committed to maintaining trust in the authority of our electronic archive.

ijsbt adheres to the fundamental principle of scholarly communication, which places the sole and independent responsibility for deciding which articles to publish with the Journal’s editor. This decision-making process is guided by the policies established by the ijsbt’s editorial board and is subject to legal obligations regarding issues such as libel, copyright infringement, and plagiarism.

Article withdrawal, retraction, removal, or replacement are actions reserved for exceptional circumstances, where clear evidence exists of ethical violations, serious errors, or misconduct in published research articles. The responsibility for deciding which articles to publish lies solely with the editor, who is guided by the ijsbt’s editorial board policies and legal requirements regarding libel, copyright infringement, and plagiarism. Once an article has been published, it becomes part of the scholarly archive, serving as a permanent record of scholarly transactions, and published articles are expected to remain unaltered as much as possible.

Article Withdrawal

Scenerios

  • Ethical violations: If an article is found to contain data fabrication,falsification, or plagiarism, it may be retracted to maintain the integrity of the scientific record.
  • Serious errors: If an article contains serious errors or inaccuracies that invalidate the findings or conclusions, it may be retracted to prevent dissemination of incorrect information.
  • Misconduct: If an author is found to have engaged in scientific misconduct, such as manipulation of data, conflicts of interest, or undisclosed funding sources, the article may be retracted.
  • Legal issues: If an article contains material that infringes on copyright, libel, or other legal issues, it may be removed to prevent legal action against the publisher or author.
  • Safety concerns: If an article contains information that may pose a risk to public health or safety, it may be retracted or removed.

Consequences

  • No withdrawal penalty will apply if the author, conference organizers, or a third party requests manuscript withdrawal within a week of the acknowledgment email.
  • If the manuscript has already been submitted to a ijsbt for processing, the withdrawal request will incur a withdrawal penalty.
  • The author must submit a written letter to ijsbt explaining the reason for withdrawal, along with payment of the Manuscript Withdrawal Charges.
  • ijsbt will provide a formal Manuscript Withdrawal letter to the author only after the withdrawal penalty has been paid in full.
  • Authors are permitted to publish other manuscripts with ijsbt, provided they adhere to submission guidelines.

Measures

  • Ensure that the manuscript does not infringe any copyrights.
  • Obtain consent from all co-authors before submission.
  • Confirm that students and researchers have prior approval from their supervisors before submitting their manuscripts to Journals.
  • Verify that the manuscript has not been partially or fully published in any other Journal.
  • Properly withdraw the manuscript from any previous publishers if necessary.
  • Ensure that the manuscript has not been submitted to any other Journal at the time of submission to the current ijsbt.
  • Avoid redundant publication, meaning publishing multiple similar manuscripts based on the same research.

Article Retraction

Article retraction means that the editor of ijsbt is responsible for deciding whether an article should be retracted. Retractions occur in exceptional cases, such as instances of fraudulent data or unethical research. If retraction is deemed necessary, the Journal will publish a retraction notice that identifies the retracted article and the reason for the retraction. This retraction notice will be linked to the original article and prominently displayed on the ijsbt’s website.

The Journal will also ensure that the retracted article is marked as “retracted” in all versions, including those in the ijsbt’s archives. Additionally, the Journal will inform any indexers or databases that have indexed the article about the retraction.

If the Journal becomes aware of a potential issue with an article, such as data or ethical concerns, it will investigate the matter promptly and take appropriate action, including retraction if necessary.

Scenerios

  • Plagiarism: If an article is found to have plagiarized content from other sources, it may be
    retracted.
  • Data fabrication: If an article is found to have fabricated or falsified data, it may be
    retracted.
  • Ethical violations: If an article is found to have violated ethical standards, such as by
    conducting research on human subjects without proper consent, it may be retracted.
  • Errors or inaccuracies: If an article is found to contain errors or inaccuracies that
    significantly affect the conclusions, it may be retracted.
  • Duplication: If an article is found to be substantially similar to another previously
    published article, it may be retracted as a duplicate publication.
  • Legal Issues: If an article violates copyright laws or contains defamatory content, it may be retracted.

Consequences

Manuscript retraction is a serious matter in scholarly publishing. ijsbt aims to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the scientific record and therefore has established policies to govern the retraction of manuscripts.

  • Retractions may be necessary if:
    • Clear evidence indicates that findings are unreliable or fraudulent, including data fabrication, manipulation, plagiarism, or duplicate publication.
    • There is a serious error or flaw in the study that invalidates the findings.
    • The manuscript was published in error, due to a technical or administrative issue.

In such cases, the retraction process will be initiated by the ijsbt’s editor, in consultation with the author(s) and any relevant third parties. The editor will make the final decision on whether to retract the manuscript, considering input and guidelines from external bodies.

If a manuscript is retracted, it will be marked as such, and a retraction notice will be prominently published in ijsbt’s with a clear explanation of the reasons. The retracted manuscript will remain available online as a historical record but will be marked as retracted, and its content should not be used or cited.

International Journal of Housing and Human Settlement Planning understands the importance of upholding the integrity and completeness of the scholarly record to benefit researchers and librarians. We are committed to maintaining trust in the authority of our electronic archive.

ijhhsp adheres to the fundamental principle of scholarly communication, which places the sole and independent responsibility for deciding which articles to publish with the Journal’s editor. This decision-making process is guided by the policies established by the ijhhsp’s editorial board and is subject to legal obligations regarding issues such as libel, copyright infringement, and plagiarism.

Article withdrawal, retraction, removal, or replacement are actions reserved for exceptional circumstances, where clear evidence exists of ethical violations, serious errors, or misconduct in published research articles. The responsibility for deciding which articles to publish lies solely with the editor, who is guided by the ijhhsp’s editorial board policies and legal requirements regarding libel, copyright infringement, and plagiarism. Once an article has been published, it becomes part of the scholarly archive, serving as a permanent record of scholarly transactions, and published articles are expected to remain unaltered as much as possible.

Article Withdrawal

Scenerios

  • Ethical violations: If an article is found to contain data fabrication,falsification, or plagiarism, it may be retracted to maintain the integrity of the scientific record.
  • Serious errors: If an article contains serious errors or inaccuracies that invalidate the findings or conclusions, it may be retracted to prevent dissemination of incorrect information.
  • Misconduct: If an author is found to have engaged in scientific misconduct, such as manipulation of data, conflicts of interest, or undisclosed funding sources, the article may be retracted.
  • Legal issues: If an article contains material that infringes on copyright, libel, or other legal issues, it may be removed to prevent legal action against the publisher or author.
  • Safety concerns: If an article contains information that may pose a risk to public health or safety, it may be retracted or removed.

Consequences

  • No withdrawal penalty will apply if the author, conference organizers, or a third party requests manuscript withdrawal within a week of the acknowledgment email.
  • If the manuscript has already been submitted to a ijhhsp for processing, the withdrawal request will incur a withdrawal penalty.
  • The author must submit a written letter to ijhhsp explaining the reason for withdrawal, along with payment of the Manuscript Withdrawal Charges.
  • ijhhsp will provide a formal Manuscript Withdrawal letter to the author only after the withdrawal penalty has been paid in full.

Article Retraction

Article retraction means that the editor of ijhhsp is responsible for deciding whether an article should be retracted. Retractions occur in exceptional cases, such as instances of fraudulent data or unethical research. If retraction is deemed necessary, the Journal will publish a retraction notice that identifies the retracted article and the reason for the retraction. This retraction notice will be linked to the original article and prominently displayed on the ijhhsp’s website.

The Journal will also ensure that the retracted article is marked as “retracted” in all versions, including those in the ijhhsp’s archives. Additionally, the Journal will inform any indexers or databases that have indexed the article about the retraction.

If the Journal becomes aware of a potential issue with an article, such as data or ethical concerns, it will investigate the matter promptly and take appropriate action, including retraction if necessary.

Scenerios

  • Plagiarism: If an article is found to have plagiarized content from other sources, it may be
    retracted.
  • Data fabrication: If an article is found to have fabricated or falsified data, it may be
    retracted.
  • Ethical violations: If an article is found to have violated ethical standards, such as by
    conducting research on human subjects without proper consent, it may be retracted.
  • Errors or inaccuracies: If an article is found to contain errors or inaccuracies that
    significantly affect the conclusions, it may be retracted.
  • Duplication: If an article is found to be substantially similar to another previously
    published article, it may be retracted as a duplicate publication.
  • Legal Issues: If an article violates copyright laws or contains defamatory content, it may be retracted.

Consequences

Manuscript retraction is a serious matter in scholarly publishing. ijhhsp aims to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the scientific record and therefore has established policies to govern the retraction of manuscripts.

  • Retractions may be necessary if:
    • Clear evidence indicates that findings are unreliable or fraudulent, including data fabrication, manipulation, plagiarism, or duplicate publication.
    • There is a serious error or flaw in the study that invalidates the findings.
    • The manuscript was published in error, due to a technical or administrative issue.

In such cases, the retraction process will be initiated by the ijhhsp’s editor, in consultation with the author(s) and any relevant third parties. The editor will make the final decision on whether to retract the manuscript, considering input and guidelines from external bodies.

If a manuscript is retracted, it will be marked as such, and a retraction notice will be prominently published in ijhhsp’s with a clear explanation of the reasons. The retracted manuscript will remain available online as a historical record but will be marked as retracted, and its content should not be used or cited.

It is important to note that manuscript removal is a last-resort measure. We encourage all authors to adhere to our ethical standards and guidelines to ensure the integrity of our publications.

Article Replacement

ijhhsp’s policy regarding article replacement is that it is an uncommon practice, considered only in exceptional cases. If an author identifies a major error in their published article, they should contact the ijhhsp’s editorial office to request a correction or retraction.

If the error is significant and cannot be addressed with a simple correction, and the author provides a corrected version, the editorial board may consider replacing the original article. The final decision rests with the editorial board, depending on the error’s nature and its impact on the article.

Please note that article replacement is not a routine practice and is reserved for exceptional circumstances. The Journal may also require a fee to cover replacement costs.

Once an article has been published, it becomes part of the scholarly archive, serving as a permanent record of scholarly transactions, and published articles are expected to remain unaltered as much as possible.

Article Withdrawal

Scenerios

  • Ethical violations: If an article is found to contain data fabrication,falsification, or plagiarism, it may be retracted to maintain the integrity of the scientific record.
  • Serious errors: If an article contains serious errors or inaccuracies that invalidate the findings or conclusions, it may be retracted to prevent dissemination of incorrect information.
  • Misconduct: If an author is found to have engaged in scientific misconduct, such as manipulation of data, conflicts of interest, or undisclosed funding sources, the article may be retracted.
  • Legal issues: If an article contains material that infringes on copyright, libel, or other legal issues, it may be removed to prevent legal action against the publisher or author.
  • Safety concerns: If an article contains information that may pose a risk to public health or safety, it may be retracted or removed.

Consequences

  • No withdrawal penalty will apply if the author, conference organizers, or a third party requests manuscript withdrawal within a week of the acknowledgment email.
  • If the manuscript has already been submitted to a rrjopc for processing, the withdrawal request will incur a withdrawal penalty.
  • The author must submit a written letter to rrjopc explaining the reason for withdrawal, along with payment of the Manuscript Withdrawal Charges.
  • rrjopc will provide a formal Manuscript Withdrawal letter to the author only after the withdrawal penalty has been paid in full.
  • Authors are permitted to publish other manuscripts with rrjopc, provided they adhere to submission guidelines.

Measures

  • Ensure that the manuscript does not infringe any copyrights.
  • Obtain consent from all co-authors before submission.
  • Confirm that students and researchers have prior approval from their supervisors before submitting their manuscripts to Journals.
  • Verify that the manuscript has not been partially or fully published in any other Journal.
  • Properly withdraw the manuscript from any previous publishers if necessary.
  • Ensure that the manuscript has not been submitted to any other Journal at the time of submission to the current rrjopc.
  • Avoid redundant publication, meaning publishing multiple similar manuscripts based on the same research.

Article Retraction

Article retraction means that the editor of rrjopc is responsible for deciding whether an article should be retracted. Retractions occur in exceptional cases, such as instances of fraudulent data or unethical research. If retraction is deemed necessary, the Journal will publish a retraction notice that identifies the retracted article and the reason for the retraction. This retraction notice will be linked to the original article and prominently displayed on the rrjopc’s website.

The Journal will also ensure that the retracted article is marked as “retracted” in all versions, including those in the rrjopc’s archives. Additionally, the Journal will inform any indexers or databases that have indexed the article about the retraction.

If the Journal becomes aware of a potential issue with an article, such as data or ethical concerns, it will investigate the matter promptly and take appropriate action, including retraction if necessary.

Scenerios

  • Plagiarism: If an article is found to have plagiarized content from other sources, it may be
    retracted.
  • Data fabrication: If an article is found to have fabricated or falsified data, it may be
    retracted.
  • Ethical violations: If an article is found to have violated ethical standards, such as by
    conducting research on human subjects without proper consent, it may be retracted.
  • Errors or inaccuracies: If an article is found to contain errors or inaccuracies that
    significantly affect the conclusions, it may be retracted.
  • Duplication: If an article is found to be substantially similar to another previously
    published article, it may be retracted as a duplicate publication.
  • Legal Issues: If an article violates copyright laws or contains defamatory content, it may be retracted.

Consequences

Manuscript retraction is a serious matter in scholarly publishing. rrjopc aims to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the scientific record and therefore has established policies to govern the retraction of manuscripts.

  • Retractions may be necessary if:
    • Clear evidence indicates that findings are unreliable or fraudulent, including data fabrication, manipulation, plagiarism, or duplicate publication.
    • There is a serious error or flaw in the study that invalidates the findings.
    • The manuscript was published in error, due to a technical or administrative issue.

In such cases, the retraction process will be initiated by the rrjopc’s editor, in consultation with the author(s) and any relevant third parties. The editor will make the final decision on whether to retract the manuscript, considering input and guidelines from external bodies.

If a manuscript is retracted, it will be marked as such, and a retraction notice will be prominently published in rrjopc’s with a clear explanation of the reasons. The retracted manuscript will remain available online as a historical record but will be marked as retracted, and its content should not be used or cited.

Consequences

Manuscript removal will lead to the withdrawal of the article from our publication and its permanent removal from our online archives. We may also impose sanctions on the author(s) and/or publisher(s), including a ban on future submissions to rrjopc.

It is important to note that manuscript removal is a last-resort measure. We encourage all authors to adhere to our ethical standards and guidelines to ensure the integrity of our publications.

Article Replacement

rrjopc’s policy regarding article replacement is that it is an uncommon practice, considered only in exceptional cases. If an author identifies a major error in their published article, they should contact the rrjopc’s editorial office to request a correction or retraction.

If the error is significant and cannot be addressed with a simple correction, and the author provides a corrected version, the editorial board may consider replacing the original article. The final decision rests with the editorial board, depending on the error’s nature and its impact on the article.

Please note that article replacement is not a routine practice and is reserved for exceptional circumstances. The Journal may also require a fee to cover replacement costs.

Scenarios for Replacement

  • Correction of significant errors or omissions in the original article.
  • Addition of new data or findings that substantially alter the article’s conclusions or implications.
  • Revision of methodology or analysis affecting the validity or reliability of results.
  • Replacement of inaccurately or inappropriately presented images or figures.
  • Update of outdated information or references affecting relevance or accuracy.
  • Translation of the article to another language for broader reach.
  • Republishing the article with updated formatting or a new title to improve accessibility.
  • Reprinting the article in an academic collection or anthology.

Expressions of Concern

Expressions of Concern are issued when significant evidence indicates:

    • Unresolved ethical compliance issues.
    • Potential misconduct under investigation.
    • Concerns about data integrity or reliability.
    • Legal disputes impacting the article.
    • Other conditions significantly affect the article’s integrity but do not conclusively warrant withdrawal or retraction at the moment.

Grounds for Issuing an Expression of Concern

Expressions of Concern may be issued in situations where there is significant evidence of:

  • Allegations or evidence of misconduct (e.g., data fabrication, falsification, plagiarism).
  • Pending correction of significant errors or inaccuracies.
  • Ethical issues involving research participants or consent.
  • Disputes over authorship, conflicts of interest, or funding sources affecting findings’ interpretation.
  • Ongoing institutional or third-party investigations without a conclusion.

Process and Resolution

  • Preliminary Assessment: Upon identifying a potential issue, the editorial team conducts an initial assessment and may consult authors, involved institutions, or external experts.
  • Notification and Response: The corresponding author will be notified of the concerns and allowed to respond.
  • Issuing the Expression: If concerns are significant and unresolved, rrjopc will issue an Expression of Concern, detailing the concerns and noting that the issue is under review.
  • Linking and Accessibility: The Expression of Concern will be linked to the original article and accessible to all readers to ensure transparency.

Article Retraction

Article retraction means that the editor of ijcbcp is responsible for deciding whether an article should be retracted. Retractions occur in exceptional cases, such as instances of fraudulent data or unethical research. If retraction is deemed necessary, the Journal will publish a retraction notice that identifies the retracted article and the reason for the retraction. This retraction notice will be linked to the original article and prominently displayed on the ijcbcp’s website.

The Journal will also ensure that the retracted article is marked as “retracted” in all versions, including those in the ijcbcp’s archives. Additionally, the Journal will inform any indexers or databases that have indexed the article about the retraction.

If the Journal becomes aware of a potential issue with an article, such as data or ethical concerns, it will investigate the matter promptly and take appropriate action, including retraction if necessary.

Scenerios

  • Plagiarism: If an article is found to have plagiarized content from other sources, it may be
    retracted.
  • Data fabrication: If an article is found to have fabricated or falsified data, it may be
    retracted.
  • Ethical violations: If an article is found to have violated ethical standards, such as by
    conducting research on human subjects without proper consent, it may be retracted.
  • Errors or inaccuracies: If an article is found to contain errors or inaccuracies that
    significantly affect the conclusions, it may be retracted.
  • Duplication: If an article is found to be substantially similar to another previously
    published article, it may be retracted as a duplicate publication.
  • Legal Issues: If an article violates copyright laws or contains defamatory content, it may be retracted.

Consequences

Manuscript retraction is a serious matter in scholarly publishing. ijcbcp aims to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the scientific record and therefore has established policies to govern the retraction of manuscripts.

  • Retractions may be necessary if:
    • Clear evidence indicates that findings are unreliable or fraudulent, including data fabrication, manipulation, plagiarism, or duplicate publication.
    • There is a serious error or flaw in the study that invalidates the findings.
    • The manuscript was published in error, due to a technical or administrative issue.

In such cases, the retraction process will be initiated by the ijcbcp’s editor, in consultation with the author(s) and any relevant third parties. The editor will make the final decision on whether to retract the manuscript, considering input and guidelines from external bodies.

If a manuscript is retracted, it will be marked as such, and a retraction notice will be prominently published in ijcbcp’s with a clear explanation of the reasons. The retracted manuscript will remain available online as a historical record but will be marked as retracted, and its content should not be used or cited.

Article Removal

Manuscript removal is a serious matter that should only be considered in exceptional circumstances. ijcbcp has a policy in place for manuscript removal to ensure the integrity of our publications and to protect the interests of our readers, authors, and publishers.

Removal Process

  • Grounds for Removal: Defamatory, fraudulent, or unethical content, or legal breaches.
  • Notification: Authors and publishers will be notified of potential removal, with a chance to respond.
  • Investigation: ijcbcp will investigate the grounds for removal, possibly consulting experts or the editorial board.
  • Decision: If removal is justified, ijcbcp will notify authors and publishers with reasons.
  • Consequences: Removed articles will be permanently withdrawn from the archives, and sanctions may be imposed on authors, including submission bans.

Consequences

Manuscript removal will lead to the withdrawal of the article from our publication and its permanent removal from our online archives. We may also impose sanctions on the author(s) and/or publisher(s), including a ban on future submissions to ijcbcp.

It is important to note that manuscript removal is a last-resort measure. We encourage all authors to adhere to our ethical standards and guidelines to ensure the integrity of our publications.

Article Replacement

ijcbcp’s policy regarding article replacement is that it is an uncommon practice, considered only in exceptional cases. If an author identifies a major error in their published article, they should contact the ijcbcp’s editorial office to request a correction or retraction.

If the error is significant and cannot be addressed with a simple correction, and the author provides a corrected version, the editorial board may consider replacing the original article. The final decision rests with the editorial board, depending on the error’s nature and its impact on the article.

Please note that article replacement is not a routine practice and is reserved for exceptional circumstances. The Journal may also require a fee to cover replacement costs.

Scenarios for Replacement

  • Correction of significant errors or omissions in the original article.
  • Addition of new data or findings that substantially alter the article’s conclusions or implications.
  • Revision of methodology or analysis affecting the validity or reliability of results.
  • Replacement of inaccurately or inappropriately presented images or figures.
  • Update of outdated information or references affecting relevance or accuracy.
  • Translation of the article to another language for broader reach.
  • Republishing the article with updated formatting or a new title to improve accessibility.
  • Reprinting the article in an academic collection or anthology.

Expressions of Concern

Expressions of Concern are issued when significant evidence indicates:

    • Unresolved ethical compliance issues.
    • Potential misconduct under investigation.
    • Concerns about data integrity or reliability.
    • Legal disputes impacting the article.
    • Other conditions significantly affect the article’s integrity but do not conclusively warrant withdrawal or retraction at the moment.

Grounds for Issuing an Expression of Concern

Expressions of Concern may be issued in situations where there is significant evidence of:

  • Allegations or evidence of misconduct (e.g., data fabrication, falsification, plagiarism).
  • Pending correction of significant errors or inaccuracies.
  • Ethical issues involving research participants or consent.
  • Disputes over authorship, conflicts of interest, or funding sources affecting findings’ interpretation.
  • Ongoing institutional or third-party investigations without a conclusion.

Process and Resolution

  • Preliminary Assessment: Upon identifying a potential issue, the editorial team conducts an initial assessment and may consult authors, involved institutions, or external experts.
  • Notification and Response: The corresponding author will be notified of the concerns and allowed to respond.
  • Issuing the Expression: If concerns are significant and unresolved, ijcbcp will issue an Expression of Concern, detailing the concerns and noting that the issue is under review.
  • Linking and Accessibility: The Expression of Concern will be linked to the original article and accessible to all readers to ensure transparency.

Requesting Article Changes: Withdrawal, Retraction, Removal, and Replacement

To request article withdrawal, replacement, retraction, or removal, follow the guidelines of ijcbcp or the publisher where the article was published. The typical process involves the following steps:

  1. Contact the Journal: Reach out to the editorial office or customer service department with the article title, author names, and relevant details.
