Retraction Policy

To address ethical issues in scientific articles, such as data integrity concerns or research errors, IJABO follows a retraction procedure. Authors must submit a retraction request stating their reasons, which is then reviewed by the journal's editor. Upon review, the journal will issue a statement, replacing the document with a new version marked "[Article retracted]" in the PDF.

In cases of suspected misconduct or fraud, the journal will initiate an investigation following COPE guidelines. If concerns are substantiated, authors will be contacted via email to address the issue. Depending on the circumstances, the journal may take actions including:

1. Rejection of manuscripts still under review.
2. Correction notices for published articles with fundamental errors, such as experimental mistakes.
3. Retraction of articles based on severity, such as fabricated data or plagiarism.

Reasons for potential article retraction include unreliable results due to illegal actions, previous publication without proper attribution, plagiarism, fraudulent authorship, compromised review processes, or ethical violations.

Following a decision to retract an article, the published version will be marked with a "Retraction" watermark and titled accordingly. A separate retraction statement, signed by the editors and assigned a DOI identifier, will be published.

Authors may request withdrawal of their manuscript before publication by contacting the journal's editorial office with a signed letter explaining their reasons. Withdrawn manuscripts will be removed from the publisher's database while the copyright remains with the authors.
