Corrigendum&Retraction

In general, articles published online or in print are considered final. The journal does not normally make corrigendum or retraction to published articles unless warranted (as described below).

 

Corrigendum:

If there is an unintentional scientific error within an article that does not affect the results and conclusions of the article, the Editorial Board will publish a corrective revelation in the journal as soon as possible, detailing the changes made to the original article and citing the source of the article. The journal will publish a new corrected version of the paper with a new version detailing the changes made to the original article and indicating the date of the update. The original version will also be archived and readers can access it directly, but if citing, the latest version of the article should be cited.

 

Retraction:

The Editorial Board will retract an article and issue a retraction statement in the following cases:

1. When there are serious scientific errors within the article such that the results and conclusions of the article are unreliable.

2. For articles suspected of plagiarism, data falsification and other academic misconduct, the editorial board will initiate an investigation and issue a statement informing readers that the article is at risk; the results of the investigation will be made public at the end of the investigation. If it is confirmed that there is academic misconduct in the article, the editorial board will retract the article and publish corresponding statement.
