Retraction, Correction and Withdrawal Policy
1. Purpose
The Scientific Temper is committed to upholding the ethical integrity, accountability, trustworthiness, and stability of the published research record. The journal acknowledges that issues such as deficiencies, oversights, compliance violations, research misconduct, or academic dishonesty can occur during the submission or publication process, even despite strict editorial and expert review procedures.
This policy sets out the procedures relating to the following:
•
Corrections
•
Retractions
•
Expressions of Concern
•
Manuscript Retraction/Withdrawal
•
Article Removal
•
Appeals and Investigations
We follow the guidelines and directives of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and well-established standards and accepted procedure of publications worldwide.
2. Guiding Principles
The journal is committed to upholding the integrity of research it publishes, to transparency and accountability, and it will fairly investigate any allegations of research misconduct. Authors are provided with an opportunity to reply to complaints and corrections or retractions are clearly identified and permanently attached to the original. In conclusion, the purpose of the journal is to help readers gain confidence in the authenticity of the results of scholarly research.
3. Correction Policy
•
Purpose of Corrections
The amendments are issued particularly when a manuscript contains such errors that affect the accuracy, clarity or accuracy of the document that is produced, but do not invalidate the entire observations or conclusions of the investigation.
3.2 Classifications of Corrections
Minor-scale Corrections
Minor corrections are typographical errors, misspellings, inconsistent formatting, institutional inaccuracies, incorrect email addresses, and minor inaccuracies in metadata. These may be inserted directly into the online version without a corrigendum or editorial notice, but only if the scientific content is not compromised.
Major/Substantial Corrections
Major corrections are those that make a significant error in the representation of data, have an error in a statistical value, have a table or figure that is flawed, have missing acknowledgements, do not include funding information, or have an error which affects the inference of findings. In such cases, a formal revision is published by the journal, which cross-references with the original publication.
3.3 Amendment Procedure
Any discrepancy can be identified by an author, a reader, a reviewer, or editor and then will be subjected to editorial evaluation. Contributors are informed and requested to supply an explanation (if applicable). The amendment needs to be approved by the Editor-in-Chief and an amendment notice is published which is permanently attached to the original publication.
4. Retraction Policy
•
Purpose of Retraction
A retraction should be considered a statement to readers that a published paper includes substantially flawed, untrustworthy, ethically inappropriate or fabricated content and should therefore not be treated as a credible scholarly record. It is to correct academic literature and not to criticise the individual authors.
4.2 Grounds for Retraction
The editor-in-chief has the right to formally reject an article for any of the following reasons and as described below:
A. Research Misconduct
The journal will withdraw published articles in case of research misconduct (fabrication of data, manipulation of data, distortion of findings, alteration of graphical data, falsified and fraudulent peer review).
B. Publication Malpractice
Retraction may also be made when there is academic plagiarism or copying without citation, republication of the same work, redundant publication or parallel publication to another journal, or copyright violation.
C. Plagiarism Policy
Before editorial review, all manuscripts submitted are checked using DrillBit and Turnitin. All submissions must have a similarity percentage of less than 10%. If the manuscript goes beyond this limit will be returned for revisions, or it will be rejected. Self-plagiarism and any reuse of previously published work without citation are considered plagiarism and will be grounds for rejection or retraction, as per the journal's Retraction and Correction Policy.
D. Ethical Violations
Articles may be retracted when ethical violations are identified, such as lack of ethical clearance, lack of informed consent (when needed), ethically inappropriate treatment of study participants, ethically inappropriate treatment of animals, or failure to follow research ethics protocols and guidelines.
E. Authorship Misconduct
The responsibility of authorship is a valid reason for retraction, including falsified claims in the authorship, ghost and undisclosed authorship, guest authorship, or honorary authorship, and unapproved inclusion or removal of authors from the manuscript.
F. Significant Flaws
That significant flaws may also warrant retraction might also include substantial research methodological deficiencies, core analytic mistakes or major misanalysis of observations that render the scholarly article invalid and lacking in credibility.
4.3 Retraction Procedure
Step 1: Receipt of a complaint or a reported concern.
Step 2: Preliminary editorial-board evaluation.
Step 3: Formal notice to designated corresponding author/lead author.
Step 4: Collection of evidentiary proof.
Step 5: Consultation process with Editorial Board and subject-specific independent reviewers or consultants where appropriate.
Step 6: Final verdict by the Editor-in-Chief.
Step 7: Release of a Retraction Notice.
4.4 Retraction Notice
A retraction notice is freely and openly communicated, clearly identifies the retracted article and provides the reason for the retraction and the person who has requested it. This notice will be attached to the original article on a permanent and indefinite basis.
4.5 Status of Retracted Articles
When does a retracted article cease to be a publication? What happens to retracted articles?
Retracted articles are included in published history, and clearly and prominently marked as "RETRACTED”. They are not pulled from publication unless there are very special legal situations.
5. Expression of Concern
•
Purpose
An Expression of Concern can be issued where there are serious concerns, a formal investigation is in progress, there is not enough evidence to support the concerns, or the results of the research cannot yet be verified.
5.2 Illustrative cases
These scenarios often involve accusations of misconduct while under investigation by an official body, an ongoing investigation by an institutional committee, an attribution of authorship that is in question, or issues about the data underlying the research.
5.3 Final outcome
In the event of a successful investigation, the final editorial action that can come as a result of an Expression of Concern may be none, or a corrigendum, or the full retraction or withdrawal of the publication.
6. Article Withdrawal Policy
•
Scope
Withdrawal is limited only to scholarly manuscripts which have not yet been officially published.
6.2 Author-requested Withdrawal
Under the circumstances of significant inaccuracies, duplicate submission, ethical problems, or editorial decision that the authors choose not to publish, the author can request withdrawal. This will need to be done with a formal request on application signed by all authors.
6.3 Editorial Withdrawal
If plagiarism, manipulated data, ethical violations, an unresolved authorship issue, or suspected peer-review manipulation is found, the journal will be able to withdraw the manuscript prior to formal publication.
6.4 Withdrawal Subsequent to Formal Acceptance
Requests for withdrawal upon editorial acceptance for publication but before formal publication shall be considered solely upon exceptional conditions and be subject to editorial-board approval.
7. Article Removal Policy
Article removal is only allowed in rare and exceptional circumstances like judicial orders, defamatory content, privacy violations, legal restrictions and danger to public safety. Citation information and a notice of removal are available for articles even after they have been removed.
8. Grievance and Allegations
The editorial office welcomes concern about research misconduct, publication misconduct, ethical breaches, authorship disputes, conflict of interests or any other matter. Complaints must be made in writing along with evidence, but anonymous complaints may be considered if there is sufficient evidence.
9. Investigation Process
The allegations are investigated in accordance with the principles of procedural fairness, confidentiality and due process. The investigation can be conducted by authors, reviewers, editors, institutions, funding agencies, as well as by independent experts, who are all provided with reasonable opportunity to participate.
10. Appeals
Authors can request reconsiderations with respect to retraction, correction, withdrawal, or expressions of concern. An appeal must be made in writing within 30 calendar days of notification with clear and specific supporting information. The final decision is the Editor-in-Chief's (and in consultation with the Editorial Board, if applicable) decision.
11. Responsibilities of Authors
Authors bear the responsibility of maintaining the accuracy and reliability of their work, promptly notifying the editorial office of significant inaccuracies, complying completely with investigative procedures, furnishing original or raw data if applicable, and making it clear when there are conflicting interests or sources of funding.
12. Responsibilities of Editors
Editors are expected to be impartial, to remain confidential, to investigate complaints fairly, to preserve the integrity of the scholarly record, to follow professional and ethical standards, and to not have conflicts of interest during their investigations.
13. Policy Review
These provisions are open to periodic revision to reflect changing best practices in scholarly communication and publishing ethics, statutory requirements, and internationally agreed upon best practices.
Plagiarism Policy
How much Plagiarism is allowed? The journal is strictly against any unethical act of copying or plagiarism in any form. The papers are required to be plagiarism-checked as per international requirements.
Articles will be checked for plagiarism. Only Articles below 10% Similarity Score shall be accepted for Publication. It is advised to authors to run through their own plag check to ensure high possibility of acceptance after review. The authors must ensure their plagiarism free manuscript. In case of any plagiarism allegation in any form in a published article, the investigation will follow under ICMJE and COPE Guidelines. If proven, the article shall be retracted, and further necessary actions may be taken.
Publication Ethics
This journal has unilateral right to unpublish a paper even long after its publication if found guilty of violation of the ethical guidelines given as under:
इस पत्रिका के पास किसी पेपर को उसके प्रकाशन के लंबे समय बाद भी अप्रकाशित करने का एकतरफा अधिकार है, यदि उसे नीचे दिए गए नैतिक दिशानिर्देशों के उल्लंघन का दोषी पाया जाता है:
Every care is taken to adhere to the standard international norms to follow and apply the publication ethics, such as: Ethics Approval, Informed Consent, and Data Confidentiality, Data Manipulation and Research Fraud, Plagiarism, Simultaneous Submission, Duplicate Publication, Self-Citation, Ethics with Authorship, Conflicts of Interest etc.
Duties of Authors
Reporting standards: Authors of the original research article must present accurate data of work performed during their research. Authors are also expected to discuss the objective of their work and the significance of their results. An article should contain sufficient information and references to ensure the reproducibility of the work. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements are considered as unethical behaviour and unacceptable.
Data Access and Retention: Authors may be asked to provide the raw/supplementary data for a paper that is under editorial review. The authors should be prepared to provide the public access to these data (if practicable) and to retain such data for a reasonable time after the publication.
Multiple Publications & Dual submission: An author should not publish manuscripts that describe the same concept or present similar data, in more than one journal. In addition, an article should not be submitted to two or more journals simultaneously. Submitting the same manuscript to multiple journals constitutes unethical publishing behaviour and is unacceptable.
Acknowledgement of Sources: Authors should provide the proper acknowledgement of the work of others. Authors should cite publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work.
Authorship of the Paper and corresponding author: Only the contributors who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study should be titled as an author. All those who have made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors. The corresponding author is the author responsible for communicating with the journal for publication. The corresponding author should ensure that no inappropriate contributors are listed as co-authors in the paper. All the co-authors should check the final draft of the manuscript before submitting it to the journal.
Acknowledgement of Funding Sources: All the funding sources must be properly acknowledged.
Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest: All authors should disclose the possible financial or another substantive conflict of interest that might influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript.
Fundamental errors in published works: When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in his/her own published work, he should promptly notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper.
Duties of the Publisher
The publisher is supposed to protect the intellectual property and copyright of the contents submitted by the authors. We respect privacy and personal data, especially for authors and peer reviewers. We work in close cooperation with the editors and peer reviewers in to maintain editorial independence, and guarantee transparency and integrity in the peer-review process.
In cases of alleged or proven scientific misconduct, fraudulent publication or plagiarism the publisher, in close collaboration with the editors, will take all appropriate measures to clarify the situation and to amend the article in question.
Plagiarism and Academic Misconduct
It is the responsibility of the author that likewise published data, and unpublished data must be properly credited and the appropriate permission has been sought. In the case of license data, authors must submit a written assurance that they have signed the data-licensing agreement with its owner.
Plagiarism can also occur accidentally when an author does not intend to plagiarize but fails to cite his or her sources correctly and completely. Being careful and having a clear understanding of ethical writing can help to prevent this.
Originality and Plagiarism: Authors should ensure the originality of their contents while preparing a manuscript draft. In case the authors have used the work and/or words of others this must be appropriately cited or quoted. All the articles submitted to the journal shall be screened for plagiarism (online plagiarism detection software). In case, plagiarism is detected during the review/editorial process, such manuscript(s) will be rejected immediately, and we can also consider other steps depending on the seriousness of the case.
If the plagiarism is proven after publication, such manuscript(s) will be removed from our website, and an appropriate announcement will be placed in this regard.
Copyright and Licensing
According to the laws of the United States (title 17, U.S. Code), copyright is a form of protection given to the publishers and authors of “original works of authorship”, including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain other intellectual works. This protection is available to both published and unpublished works. This law gives the owner of the copyright the exclusive right to do and to authorize others to publish, reproduce, sell, distribute or modify their work.
Copyright Infringement occurs when a copyrighted work is reproduced, distributed, publicly displayed, or made into a derivative work without the permission of the copyright owner. An exception to copyright infringement falls under the doctrine of “Fair Use” of copyright law and generally represents instances in which the activity is largely for a non-profit educational, scholarship, or research purposes.
The safest way is always to get permission from the copyright owner before using copyrighted material. When it seems to be impracticable to obtain permission, the use of copyrighted material should be avoided unless the doctrine of “Fair Use” would clearly apply to the situation.
It is the responsibility of the authors to the scientific contents of the papers submitted for publication. However, after the publication of the papers, the publishers hold the copyright.
Conflict of Interest and Funding Acknowledgement
The author(s) should certify that all authors of the Manuscript have no commercial associations (e.g., consultancies, stock ownership, equity interests, patent-licensing arrangements, etc.) that might pose a conflict of interest in connection with the submitted Manuscript, except as disclosed on a separate attachment. All funding sources supporting the work and all institutional or corporate affiliations should be acknowledged in a footnote.
