Errata and Retraction Policy

RELART follows editorial practices aligned with COPE to ensure the integrity of the scientific record. The journal allows the publication of errata and is responsible for managing retractions when appropriate.

By submitting a manuscript, authors accept these policies.

Errata

The journal will publish errata when minor errors are identified in an already published article (authorship information, metadata, omitted information, typographical mistakes, or content errors that do not affect the conclusions).

Errata may be requested by authors, readers, reviewers, or editors.

Once the request has been evaluated, the journal will publish a correction as an independent document, with its own DOI and linked to the original article.

Retractions

A retraction will be issued when serious problems exist that invalidate the content or its scientific integrity (plagiarism, significant methodological errors, falsified data, duplicate publication, or other practices that contravene ethical standards).

The decision is made after editorial review and, when necessary, in consultation with external experts.

The retraction notice will have its own DOI and will be clearly visible in the article’s version, which will remain available and marked as “RETRACTED.”
