Retraction and Correction Policy

Retraction and Correction Policy

JLLSCS is committed to maintaining the integrity of the scholarly record. Retractions, corrections, or expressions of concern will be issued when necessary to ensure the accuracy and reliability of published content.

Articles may be retracted in cases of proven research misconduct, including but not limited to plagiarism, data fabrication or falsification, unethical research practices, duplicate publication, or significant errors that invalidate the findings. Retraction notices will clearly state the reasons for retraction and will be linked to the retracted article. The original article will remain accessible with a clear retraction watermark.

Corrections will be published when errors are identified that do not compromise the overall validity of the research. Correction notices will describe the nature of the error and the changes made, and will be linked to the original article.

All editorial actions related to retractions and corrections follow the principles and guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
