Retraction Policy

QIJACI upholds the integrity, accuracy, and reliability of the scholarly record. Retraction of published articles is considered in situations where the validity of the research is significantly compromised. The purpose of retraction is to correct the literature and inform readers about content that is unreliable or ethically problematic.

The journal follows the ethical standards and recommendations of the Committee on Publication Ethics in handling retractions.

• Pre-publication Withdrawal: Authors may request withdrawal of a submitted manuscript prior to publication by providing a formal written request with valid justification.

• Post-publication Retraction: An article may be retracted if concerns arise regarding:

  • Plagiarism or duplicate publication

  • Fabrication or falsification of data

  • Copyright infringement

  • Significant methodological or ethical errors

In such cases, the editorial team will conduct a thorough investigation in consultation with reviewers and editors. If retraction is warranted, the article will be marked accordingly with a formal retraction notice.

The journal reserves the right to take further actions in cases of serious ethical violations, including:

• Temporary restriction on future submissions by the authors

• Notification to affiliated institutions or funding agencies

• Additional actions in accordance with ethical and legal standards
