In cases where corrections or concerns arise regarding published articles, the editor must promptly inform the publisher, providing a detailed explanation of the issue. This communication ensures that the publisher is fully aware of the situation, enabling a collaborative approach to assess the problem and determine appropriate actions. Such actions may include issuing corrections or issuing editorial concerns to maintain the integrity of the publication.
Articles may be retracted for various reasons, including errors acknowledged by the authors, research misconduct, or unethical practices. Retraction notices will specify the reason and party initiating the retraction, with the retracted article remaining accessible on the journal's website, clearly marked as retracted.
