Retraction of articles

These are the guidelines on how Retos manages the debate after publication and makes corrections and retractions. Likewise, the articles that have been retracted and deleted will be reflected, indicating the reasons that have led to this. Complaints must be sent to the official email address of the journal: retosfeadef@gmail.com

If the journal receives a complaint for bad practices in research, publication and review originating from a complaint, it will immediately open a file to try to clarify what has been reported and make decisions on the matter. First, it will gather all the information on the matter. The complaint will be forwarded to the authors and they will be given a period of time to make the allegations they consider necessary as well as to provide the necessary evidence. Once this information has been gathered, or if there is no response, the file will be meticulously studied and analyzed by the Editorial Team; if necessary, external information will be gathered. Once the conclusions of the investigation carried out are established, it will be communicated to the authors so that they can respond to it within 48 hours. After this time, the Editorial Team will make a decision on the content of the complaint, which may or may not be the retraction of the article. Likewise, the sanction, if necessary, will be indicated to the authors. The result of this will be published in the journal for the knowledge of the community and in an exercise of further transparency. Sanctions will range from rectification to retraction of articles and a lifetime ban on authors or persons involved in very serious bad practices.

In the event of detecting an evident and palpable fraud, with absolutely clear evidence, in which a plot of authors may be involved, all articles implicated in it will be retracted immediately.

The journal is committed to carrying out all necessary investigations arising from the complaints received, which may or may not be anonymous. Any complaint will be analyzed in detail. We encourage the entire scientific community to report any conduct that may be considered bad practice.

Likewise, during the review and publication process, complaints may be sent by any of the people involved in the processes, whether they are reviewers, authors, or journal staff. All will be handled in the same way with the same mechanism described above.
