Retraction guidelines

Retraction guidelines are rules that organizations follow when they need to withdraw or correct a published work, like a research paper. They ensure that errors, misconduct, or inaccuracies are properly addressed to maintain trust and credibility. A retraction typically involves publicly acknowledging the mistake, explaining why the work is being withdrawn, and updating or removing the original content. These guidelines help keep the scholarly record accurate and transparent, guiding authors and publishers to handle issues responsibly and consistently when problems arise.
