Corrections, Retractions, and Withdrawal Policy

JOMEINO follows the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines and flowcharts for issuing corrections, retractions, and expressions of concern.

Corrections are issued to address minor errors that do not affect the overall integrity, reliability, or conclusions of the research. Retractions are published when the findings are shown to be unreliable due to research misconduct or honest error.

All decisions regarding corrections, retractions, or expressions of concern are made in accordance with the relevant COPE Retraction and Correction flowcharts, ensuring a consistent, transparent, and fair process.

Retraction notices clearly identify the affected article, state the reason for retraction, and remain permanently linked to the original publication to maintain the integrity of the scholarly record.

Requests for corrections or retractions may be initiated by authors, editors, readers, or third parties and are evaluated confidentially following COPE procedures and recommendations.
