🛑 Policies on Article Withdrawal, Retraction, and Removal

Scope of Science understands the importance of completeness of the scholarly record for researchers and librarians. Very occasionally it comes necessary to withdraw, retract, remove or replace the article.

• Article Withdrawal: The author can request for withdrawal within ONE week of submission. The author can withdraw his article after submission or after payment before publication. In case he demands withdrawal after payment, the manuscript will be withdrawn but the publication fee will not be refunded.
• Article Retraction: In case of infringements of professional ethical codes, such as multiple submissions, bogus claims of authorship, plagiarism, fraudulent use of data or the like, a retraction will be used to correct errors in submission or publication.
• Article Removal: In an extremely limited number of cases, it may be necessary to remove an article from the online database. This will only occur where the article is clearly defamatory or infringes others’ legal rights, or where the article is, or we have good reason to expect it will be, the subject of a court order, or where the article if acted upon, might pose a serious health risk.
• Article Replacement: In case, where an article might pose a serious health risk, the author can replace his article with correct version. In this case, we will post a notice and link to the corrected re-published article.
