Retraction & Corrections

The International Journal of Electronics and Telecommunication Systems is committed to maintaining the accuracy, integrity, and reliability of its published research. Corrections and retractions are handled carefully when errors, inaccuracies, or research misconduct are identified after publication.

1. Corrections

Corrections may be issued when a published article contains an error that affects the accuracy or clarity of the article but does not invalidate its main findings.

Corrections may include:

• Author name or affiliation errors
• Typographical or formatting errors
• Incorrect figures, tables, or captions
• Factual or bibliographic errors
• Other errors that require clarification or amendment

A correction notice will clearly identify the affected article and explain the changes made.

2. Retraction

An article may be considered for retraction when serious issues undermine the reliability, originality, or integrity of the published work.

Reasons for retraction may include:

• Fabrication or falsification of research data
• Significant plagiarism or duplicate publication
• Serious methodological or analytical errors
• Unethical research practices
• Manipulation of the publication or peer-review process
• Substantial undisclosed conflicts of interest
• Other forms of serious research misconduct

Retraction decisions are made after appropriate editorial assessment and, where necessary, consultation with relevant experts.

3. Retraction Notice

When an article is retracted, a retraction notice will provide the reason for the retraction and identify the affected publication. The original article may remain accessible for the scholarly record, but it will be clearly marked as retracted.

4. Author-Initiated Corrections or Retractions

Authors who discover a significant error or issue in their published article should promptly notify the editorial team. The journal will assess the matter and determine whether a correction, expression of concern, or retraction is appropriate.

5. Editorial Responsibility

The editorial team of the International Journal of Electronics and Telecommunication Systems will assess reported concerns objectively and fairly. Decisions regarding corrections and retractions will be based on the seriousness and reliability of the evidence available.

6. Post-Publication Concerns

Readers, authors, reviewers, or other researchers may bring potential errors or research-integrity concerns to the attention of the journal. Relevant evidence should be provided whenever possible to support the concern.

7. Transparency

All significant corrections and retractions will be clearly identified to maintain transparency and preserve the reliability of the scholarly record.
