Revision Clarification Questions
- Are these revisions associated with grammatical faults, statistical flaws, or factual discrepancies?
- Do you require a specific format or structure (e.g., tabular, paragraph)?
- Should appendices include comprehensive revisions, additional proof, or a comparison of previous and updated content?
⚠️ Retractions
Public announcements that retract, cancel, withdraw, or cease publication of a previous work are known as retractions. Retractions may be initiated by journal editors, authors, or their institutions. Editors may request supporting data from reviewers.
- Duplicate submission
- Plagiarism
- Fraudulent or manipulated data
Retraction vs. Correction:
A retraction changes the basic concept of the original work, while a correction preserves the basic idea.
A retraction changes the basic concept of the original work, while a correction preserves the basic idea.
The Iraqi Journal of Scientific and Engineering Research derives its retraction policy largely from the standards of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
Withdrawal Policy
Authors may request withdrawal after submission or shortly after publication. In such cases, the concerned author must submit a formal request using the designated template. When an article is withdrawn, it is retained in our database, and no further action is taken.
The editors may withdraw articles if they unintentionally duplicate previously published work or breach publication ethics standards. The corresponding author must formally initiate the withdrawal/retraction procedure using the designated template.
