A correction may be published when an error in a published article does not invalidate the overall findings or conclusions but requires correction to maintain the accuracy of the scholarly record.

Retractions

  • plagiarism or serious publication misconduct;
  • duplicate or redundant publication;
  • unethical research or community service practices;
  • serious authorship problems; or
  • undisclosed conflicts of interest that substantially affect the integrity of the publication.
