When misconduct is confirmed, corrective actions may include correction notices, retraction, author notification, and institutional communication as appropriate.

Article Retraction & Withdrawal

Article Retraction & Withdrawal

Post-publication updates are handled transparently to preserve the integrity of the scholarly record.
