Retraction Policy
The SceinceIngress (SI) journal is committed to upholding the highest standards of integrity and ethical conduct in scholarly publishing. In accordance with legal and ethical guidelines, we adhere to a stringent retraction policy to address infringements of professional codes, copyright violations, and instances of major misconduct.
Retractions are warranted in cases where the publisher, copyright holder, or author(s) encounter legal limitations, fraudulent use of data, multiple submissions, bogus claims of authorship, plagiarism, or other serious ethical breaches. Additionally, retractions may be utilized to rectify numerous significant errors that cannot be adequately addressed through published corrections.
The decision to retract an article may be initiated by the Editor-in-Chief, Editorial Board, author(s), or through mutual agreement. The retraction will be published as a distinct item in the journal's contents and clearly labeled as a "Retraction". The original article will remain unchanged, with the exception of a prominent watermark on the PDF indicating on each page that it has been "retracted".
The retraction notice will provide a transparent explanation of the reasons for the retraction, ensuring that readers are informed of the circumstances that led to the decision. The retraction will be widely indexed, and the reasons for the retraction will be clearly communicated to maintain the integrity of the academic record.
Authors, readers, and other stakeholders are encouraged to report any concerns related to published articles, which will be promptly and thoroughly investigated by the journal's editorial team. Our commitment to transparency and ethical publishing practices is unwavering, and we are dedicated to upholding the highest standards of scholarly integrity.
