Withdrawals, Retractions, and Corrections

WITHDRAWAL OF SUBMISSION

Submitted manuscripts may be withdrawn by the author at any time prior to publication, only upon the provision of a formal written request of the author addressed to the Editor-in-Chief. This formal request should state the specific reason for the withdrawal.  

RETRACTIONS

After publication, articles that have been flagged due to violations in publication ethics (such as plagiarism, multiple submissions, and falsification of data) or which have critical errors that invalidate the study’s results and conclusions, shall be promptly retracted.  A Notice of Retraction signed by all the authors shall be published on the website. A revised version of the article watermarked “RETRACTED” shall replace the original published article.

CORRECTIONS

PJCD shall issue a Notice of Correction/Erratum to correct minor errors, such as spelling, labeling, numbering, et cetera.  The Notice shall include details on the changes from the original version and the dates when these changes were made.  The corrected article (with a conspicuous notation that it is the latest and corrected version) shall replace the original published article.  It should be noted that all citations shall be ascribed to the corrected version.
