2. Corrections
JRMSI may issue a formal correction when errors or inaccuracies are identified in a published article that require amendment but do not fundamentally invalidate its main findings or conclusions.
Corrections may be necessary in the following circumstances:
• Errors in statistical results, tables, figures, or data presentation that do not significantly affect the research conclusions.
• Incorrect author information, institutional affiliations, acknowledgments, or funding statements.
• Errors in references, citations, or bibliographic information.
• Inaccuracies or omissions in methodological descriptions that require clarification.
• Other factual or editorial errors that affect the accuracy of the published article.
When a correction is necessary, JRMSI will publish a clearly identified Correction Notice (Erratum or Corrigendum) explaining the error and the amendment.
The correction notice will be publicly accessible and electronically linked to the original article. Any substantive changes to the published article will be clearly documented to maintain transparency and preserve the scholarly record.
3. Retractions
JRMSI may retract a published article when substantial evidence indicates that its findings, conclusions, or scholarly integrity are seriously compromised.
Retraction may be considered in cases involving:
• Data Fabrication or Falsification: Fabricated, manipulated, or falsified research data or findings.
• Plagiarism: Substantial unauthorized use of another author's work, ideas, or research findings.
• Duplicate or Redundant Publication: Publication of substantially similar research without appropriate disclosure or justification.
• Serious Research Errors: Major methodological, analytical, or statistical errors that invalidate the principal findings.
• Research Misconduct: Serious violations of accepted research ethics and publication standards.
• Compromised Peer Review: Evidence of manipulation or fraudulent practices in the peer-review process.
• Unauthorized Use of Research Materials: Use of data or other research materials without necessary authorization.
• Undisclosed Conflicts of Interest: Significant undisclosed competing interests that materially undermine the integrity of the publication.
Retraction is intended to correct the scholarly record and protect the reliability of published research, rather than to punish authors.
The Editor-in-Chief has the authority to make the final editorial decision regarding retraction, based on available evidence, consultation with the editorial team, and applicable publication ethics guidelines.
A retraction may be issued even when the authors disagree with the decision, provided that sufficient evidence supports the editorial action.
4. Expressions of Concern
JRMSI may publish an Expression of Concern when serious questions arise regarding the reliability or integrity of a published article but the available evidence is insufficient to justify an immediate retraction.
An Expression of Concern may be appropriate when:
• Credible allegations of research or publication misconduct require further investigation.
• An investigation is ongoing, and its outcome may affect the reliability of the published findings.
• Substantial concerns remain unresolved because relevant evidence or institutional findings are unavailable.
An Expression of Concern will be clearly identified, publicly accessible, and linked to the original article.
Following the investigation, JRMSI may issue a correction, retract the article, update or withdraw the Expression of Concern, or conclude that no further editorial action is required.
5. Editorial Procedures
Concerns regarding published articles may be submitted by authors, readers, reviewers, editors, academic institutions, or other relevant parties.
JRMSI follows these procedures when evaluating potential corrections or retractions:
1. Submission of Concerns: The Editorial Office receives a report describing the suspected error or ethical issue, accompanied by relevant supporting evidence.
2. Preliminary Assessment: The Editor-in-Chief or designated editor evaluates the concern to determine whether further investigation is necessary.
3. Author Notification: The corresponding author and other relevant authors are informed of substantive concerns and given an opportunity to respond.
4. Editorial Investigation: The editorial team examines the available evidence and may consult independent experts, relevant institutions, or the publisher when appropriate.
5. Editorial Decision: Based on the findings, the Editor-in-Chief determines whether a correction, retraction, Expression of Concern, or no further action is appropriate.
6. Publication of Editorial Notice: When required, JRMSI publishes an appropriate notice that clearly explains the editorial action and links it to the original article.
7. Documentation: The Editorial Office maintains records of the investigation, correspondence, decisions, and actions taken.
All investigations will be conducted fairly, objectively, confidentially where appropriate, and without unnecessary delay.
6. Publication and Accessibility of Retraction Notices
When an article is retracted, JRMSI will publish a formal Retraction Notice that:
• Clearly identifies the retracted article, including its title, authors, publication details, and DOI where available.
• States the reasons for the retraction.
• Identifies the party responsible for the retraction decision.
• Includes the date of retraction.
• Is freely accessible to readers and linked to the original article.
• Provides a factual and objective explanation without inappropriate or defamatory language.
The original article will generally remain accessible in the journal's archives but will be prominently marked as "Retracted" to inform readers of its publication status.
Removal of published content will only be considered in exceptional circumstances involving compelling legal, privacy, or public safety considerations.
Where technically supported, relevant publication metadata will be updated to reflect the correction or retraction status.
7. Responsibilities of Authors and Editors
Authors are responsible for the accuracy, originality, and integrity of their published research.
Authors who discover significant errors or inaccuracies in their published articles must promptly notify the JRMSI Editorial Office and cooperate in any necessary correction or retraction procedures.
Editors are responsible for evaluating reported concerns impartially, maintaining appropriate confidentiality, and ensuring that decisions are based on credible evidence and established publication ethics standards.
JRMSI is committed to preserving editorial independence and ensuring that decisions are not improperly influenced by institutional, personal, commercial, or financial interests.
