ARTICLE WITHDRAWAL / RETRACTION / REMOVAL / REPLACEMENT POLICY

 

AJALS takes its responsibility to maintain the integrity and completeness of the scholarly record of our content for all end users very seriously. Changes to articles after they have been published online may only be made under the circumstances outlined below. AOE places great importance on the authority of articles after they have been published and our policy is based on best practice in the academic publishing community.

Usually, the editor of a journal is the individual responsible for deciding which articles, texts or images will be published and which should be rejected. The decisions will, however, be influenced by the editorial board, the policies of the journal and legal requirements such as copyright infringement or plagiarism.

This policy has been designed to address these concerns and to take into account current best practice in the scholarly and library communities. As standards evolve and change, we will revisit this issue and welcome the input of scholarly and library communities. We believe these issues require international standards and we will be active in lobbying various information bodies to establish international standards and best practices that the publishing and information industries can adopt. See also the National Library of Medicine's policy on retractions and the recommendations of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) concerning corrections and retractions.

 

There are different circumstances where articles submitted to the editor must be removed or retracted such as:

Article withdrawal:

This is most commonly used in the press when early versions of the written texts and articles are withdrawn due to errors. Sometimes, article withdrawal occurs when articles are submitted twice or to multiple journals, when the texts may represent infringements of the ethical codes, plagiarism and other fraudulent use of data.

Articles in Press (articles that have been accepted for publication but which have not been formally published and will not yet have the complete volume/issue/page information) that include errors, or 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 (such as multiple submission, bogus claims of authorship, plagiarism, fraudulent use of data or the like), may be "Withdrawn" from website / database. Withdrawn means that the article content (PDF) is removed and replaced with a PDF simply stating that the article has been withdrawn according to the AJALS Policy on Article in Press Withdrawal with a link to the current policy document.

 Authors can be Withdraw manuscript within 2 days, after submission.

  Manuscript withdrawal will not be possible once the review process has been initiated by the Editorial Board

  No withdraw allowed after acceptance of Manuscript/paper title listed in Content/Online Publication.

  No return publication fee at any conditions.

  Authors or conference organizers or a third party are not allowed to withdraw submitted manuscripts because the withdrawal wastes valuable manuscript processing time, money and works invested by the publisher. The authors or conference organizers or a third party must always pay $200 per page manuscript processing charges as withdrawal penalty to the publisher even if the withdrawal is permitted. 

 

Article retractions:

These are used as post-publishing methods of dealing with infringements of editorial ethical codes, plagiarism, fraudulent use of

data and  other  issues related to  the publishing  sector. In most of  the cases, a  retraction  will be  used in order to  correct  such

errors as the ones stated above. Standards for dealing with retractions have been developed by a number of library and scholarly

bodies, and this best practice is adopted for article retraction by AJALS:

 

  A retraction note titled "Retraction: [article title]" signed by the authors and/or the editor is published in the paginated part of a subsequent issue of the journal and listed in the contents list.

  In the electronic version, a link is made to the original article.

  The online article is preceded by a screen containing the retraction note. It is to this screen that the link resolves; the reader can then proceed to the article itself.

  The original article is retained unchanged save for a watermark on the pdf indicating on each page that it is "retracted."

 

Article removal:

Sometimes, editors are required to completely remove articles or texts from the online database of the journal. This will occur in

exceptional cases when errors cannot be corrected, the article infringes  legal rights of other individuals, is  defamatory  or there

is a court order that  imposes such a decision. In  these circumstances,  while  the metadata (Title and Authors)   will be  retained,

the text will be replaced with a screen indicating the article has been removed for legal reasons.

 

Article replacement:

In cases where the article, if acted upon, might pose a serious health risk, the authors of the  original article may   wish to retract

the flawed original and replace it with a corrected version. In these circumstances the procedures for retraction will be followed

with the difference that the database retraction notice will publish a link to the corrected re-published article and a history of the

document.
