Correction, Retraction, Withdrawal Policies

  • Correction:

Before publication:

      Publisher sends the PDF corrections to the author for proofreading and corrections.  Author can highlight corrections if any. These can be corrected before actual publishing.

Post Publication:

      Correction in the published paper article could be made if it seriously affects the results. Corrections are published in the subsequent issue under Corrections.

  • Retraction:

       It is a public statement made about an earlier statement that withdraws, cancels, or reverses the original statement or ceases from publishing the original statement. The retraction may be initiated by the author(s), or the editors of a journal, or by of the papers (or their institution). The article will be retracted in cases such as multiple submission, plagiarism or fraudulent use of data. An alteration that changes the main point of the original statement is generally referred to as a retraction while an alteration that leaves the main point of a statement intact is usually referred to simply as a correction. Either a retraction or correction is the appropriate remedy. ASJ Retraction policy is based on the guidelines and standards developed by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

  • Withdrawal Policy:

        In some instances, the request for withdrawal is made when the manuscript is only a few days away from publication in the journal. This may cause time waste by the editors, reviewers, and the editorial staff. To withdraw an article, a formal request has to be made by corresponding author in the specified template. Withdrawn means that the article is archived in our database and not further acted upon. Articles which have not been published yet but represent early versions of articles, are discovered to be accidental duplicates of other published article(s), or are determined to violate our journal publishing ethics guidelines in the view of the editors may be “Withdrawn” from our Journal.
