Retraction Policy
IIARP is committed to maintaining the highest standards of scientific record integrity. Our retraction policy follows international ethical guidelines.
The need to retract published articles arises when the scientific integrity of the work is substantially undermined. IIARP takes all allegations of misconduct seriously and follows a rigorous investigative process.
Scientific Misconduct
Includes data fabrication, falsification, or plagiarism that compromises the integrity of the research.
Duplicate Publication
Where it is established that the same article had been published earlier in another journal without proper disclosure.
Copyright Infringement
Cases where authors reproduce published data without permission or violate existing copyright laws.
Decision Process
After a thorough investigation involving the Editorial Board and potentially third-party experts, a decision will be reached. This decision will be:
- Formally communicated to all authors
- Publicly noted on the article's digital page
- Indexed in relevant academic databases
- Archived according to COPE guidelines
