What to do in cases regarding Corrections and Retractions

Protocols, and procedures concerning Corrections and Retractions. In case
of serious errors or scientific misconduct, the article may be retracted at
any stage of the publishing process. If minor errors are found that do not
affect the overall results or conclusions of the study, a correction
statement will be published in the next available issue.

If errors that affect the scientific meaning of the article are found in a
published paper, the journal will publish a correction both in print and
online. The journal will take responsibility if the errors were caused by
the publishing staff during the editing and publishing process. If the
errors were caused by the authors, the journal will publish a correction,
and the authors will be responsible for paying the respective publishing
charge (see journal site for rates). The correction will be published in the
earliest possible issue on numbered pages, and the correction title should
be included in the issue table of contents. The changes made should be
clearly and fully described in the text.

If fraudulent behavior is suspected, a further investigation may be
initiated, and the authors' employers or governing bodies may be contacted
for the investigation.
