Retraction Policy
Retraction Policy
JAMSTE takes the retraction of published articles seriously and addresses situations where retraction is necessary, such as ethical violations, serious errors, or mistakenly published content. The retraction process follows these steps:
-
Reason for Retraction: The author submits a retraction request to the journal along with a detailed explanation for the withdrawal, such as a significant scientific error, mistakenly published duplicate content, or ethical issues.
-
Evaluation: The editorial team reviews the retraction request in accordance with COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) guidelines and may seek feedback from reviewers if necessary.
-
Notification: The retracted article is formally announced and listed on the journal's website under the "Retracted Articles" section to ensure transparency for all readers.
-
Record Keeping: While the article is removed from active circulation, it remains accessible in the digital archives with a clear "Retracted" watermark and the accompanying reason for retraction. This ensures the integrity of the academic record and allows researchers to understand why the work was withdrawn.
This policy is strictly enforced to ensure that JAMSTE upholds the highest scientific and ethical standards.
