Published correction notices will be clearly identified and linked to the original articles.

Expressions of Concern
An expression of concern may be issued when serious questions arise regarding the reliability or integrity of a published article but available evidence is insufficient to justify an immediate retraction.

Articles may be retracted when substantial evidence indicates that their findings or conclusions are unreliable, or when serious publication ethics violations have occurred, including plagiarism, data fabrication, falsification, or redundant publication.

Retraction decisions will be made by the editorial team following an appropriate assessment and consideration of relevant publication ethics guidelines. Retraction notices will clearly identify the affected articles, explain the reasons for retraction, and remain publicly accessible.
