RETRACTION

Retraction Policy

Applied Information System and Management (AISM) is committed to maintaining the integrity of the scholarly record. Articles published in AISM may be considered for retraction when serious ethical, methodological, or publication problems are identified after publication.

A retraction is issued to correct the literature and alert readers that the published article contains findings or content that should not be relied upon. Retraction does not necessarily imply misconduct in all cases, as it may also result from honest error.

Grounds for Retraction

Articles published in AISM will be considered for retraction if one or more of the following conditions are found:

  1. There is clear evidence that the findings are unreliable, either as a result of misconduct, such as data fabrication, or honest error, such as miscalculation or experimental error.
  2. The findings have previously been published elsewhere without proper cross-referencing, permission, or justification, including cases of redundant or duplicate publication.
  3. The article contains plagiarism, including substantial unattributed copying, improper paraphrasing, or self-plagiarism.
  4. The article reports unethical research or violates accepted ethical standards in research, authorship, data handling, or publication practice.
Unreliable Findings

Retraction may apply when results are unreliable due to misconduct or honest error.

Redundant Publication

Retraction may apply when the same findings have been published elsewhere without proper justification.

Ethical Violation

Retraction may apply when plagiarism, unethical research, or serious publication misconduct is identified.

Retraction Mechanism

The retraction mechanism follows the Retraction Guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). Reports or concerns regarding published articles may be reviewed by the Editorial Board, involving authors, reviewers, publisher representatives, or relevant institutions when necessary.

When a retraction is confirmed, AISM will issue a clear retraction notice. The notice will identify the retracted article, state the reason for retraction, and remain linked to the original article record.

Retracted articles may remain accessible in the journal archive for the integrity of the scholarly record, but they will be clearly marked as retracted.
