Comments and Complaints
Decisions about Corrections, Comments and Replies, Expressions of Concerns, or Retractions resulting from an investigation are made by Editors-in-Chief, or Editorial Board members, and communicated to authors. All complaints, comments or update requests related to published papers are investigated by the Editorial Office and final approval by the Editor-in-Chief. For ethical concerns, final decisions are made by the Editor-in-Chief or Editorial Board members who are supported by the Editorial Office to promote adherence to core principles of publication ethics. Legal counsel may be sought where the complaint has legal implications.

Article Retractions
GR Scholastic will retract articles in cases of proven scientific misconduct, significant errors that invalidate the work's conclusions, or ethical breaches. Retractions are clearly stated, explaining the reason for retraction to maintain the integrity of the scientific record.
Articles may be retracted for several reasons, including:

  • Research misconduct (data fabrication)
  • Duplicate or overlapping publication
  • Fraudulent use of data
  • Clear plagiarism
  • Unethical research

Correction
For Minor corrections, Authors may request corrections or submit errata for minor errors that do not impact the scientific content of an article but require an updated version to be uploaded to the version of the record (VoR). The Publisher will review these submissions and publish “correction statements” as necessary in the PDF version as footnote, ensuring the accuracy of the published record. A minor correction will not be accompanied by a separate published correction notice.

Major correction aims to address issues and errors that could affect the scientific interpretation of an article. Once approved, the paper will be updated and re-published on our website, along with the publication of a correction. This notice is a separate publication that links to the updated paper but is published in the most current issue of the journal. The correction notifies all readers that a significant change has occurred to the paper and that the revised version is now available on the website.
