Correction and retractions policy

In its policy regarding corrections and retractions of publications, the journal follows the recommendations of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). The published version of the article is final and cannot be updated or modified. However, when important information is omitted during publication or a serious error, an erratum is made that seriously affects the scientific understanding of the article or distorts the results of the study, we will eliminate this problem using addenda, errata, corrigenda, and retractions.

 Addendum

If the authors unintentionally omitted significant information they had at the time of publication, this information will be published in the current issue as an Addendum. An Addendum does not contradict the data of the original article and can be published after peer review. A link to an Addendum will also be added on the journal website to the original publication.

 Erratum

An erratum is a significant error that we made while typing. Failure to make ccorrections requested by authors within the deadline before publication is also considered an erratum. A significant error is considered to be the one that affects the scholarly record, the scientific integrity of the article, the reputation of the authors, or of the journal. Information about errata is published in the current issue of the journal with a hyperlink on the page of the original publication.

 Corrigendum

It is a notification of a significant error made by the authors of the article. Corrigenda made by the original authors are published if the scientific accuracy or reproducibility of the original article is compromised. All corrigenda are approved by the editors of the journal and are linked to the original publication.

 Retractions

An article is considered retracted if any kind of poor academic practice is confirmed after publication such as data fabrication; data falsification, including fraudulent image manipulation; intentional non-disclosure of conflicts of interest; plagiarism.

In this case, a retraction notice will be published. This notice will include the title and authors of the article, the reason for the retraction, and who is retracting the article. It will be published on the journal website with a link to the online version of the article, as well as in the next printed issue, and included in the contents of this issue.
