Withdrawal of Manuscript

Papers published in this journal will be considered for retraction if:

  • There is clear evidence that the findings are unreliable, either due to error (e.g., data fabrication) or honest mistake (e.g., calculation error or experimental error).
  • Previous findings have been published elsewhere without proper cross-referencing, permission, or justification (i.e., a case of over-publication).
  • There is evidence of plagiarism.
  • The paper reports unethical research practices.

The retraction process adheres to the Retraction Guidelines provided by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), which can be accessed at RETRACTION GUIDELINES.
