Authors have a responsibility to inform the journal if they discover a significant error in their manuscript after submission or publication.
The journal may publish a correction when an error affects the accuracy, interpretation, or integrity of the published article but does not invalidate the overall work.
Corrections should be transparent and linked to the original publication where appropriate.

Fabricated or falsified data.
Major methodological or factual errors that invalidate the findings.
Plagiarism.
Duplicate publication.
Serious ethical violations.
Unethical research practices.
Other circumstances that substantially compromise the integrity of the scholarly record.
Retractions are intended to correct the scholarly record rather than punish authors.

An Expression of Concern may remain in place while the relevant issues are investigated or clarified.
Authors may appeal an editorial decision when they believe that a significant factual or procedural error has occurred.
Appeals should provide a clear and reasoned explanation supported by relevant evidence.
