Retraction & Corrections

The International Journal of Business and Management Innovations  is committed to maintaining the accuracy, integrity, and reliability of the scholarly record. The journal may publish corrections, retractions, or other editorial notices when errors or ethical concerns are identified in published articles.

Corrections

Minor errors that do not affect the main findings, interpretation, or reliability of an article may be corrected through an appropriate correction notice.

Corrections may address issues such as:

  • Author names or affiliations

  • Typographical or factual errors

  • Figures, tables, or captions

  • References or bibliographic information

  • Other errors that affect the published record

Significant corrections will be clearly identified and linked to the original article.

Retractions

An article may be considered for retraction when there is reliable evidence that its findings or publication process are seriously compromised. Reasons may include:

  • Fabrication or falsification of data

  • Plagiarism or substantial duplicate publication

  • Serious methodological or analytical errors

  • Unethical research practices

  • Manipulation of the peer-review or publication process

  • Undisclosed conflicts of interest that materially affect the article

  • Other serious violations of research or publication ethics

A retraction does not normally mean that the authors acted intentionally; the purpose is to correct the scholarly record.

Retraction Notice

When an article is retracted, the journal will publish a retraction notice explaining the reason for the action. The original article will remain part of the scholarly record where appropriate, but will be clearly marked as “Retracted.”

Post-Publication Concerns

Readers, authors, reviewers, or other researchers may notify the journal about suspected errors or ethical concerns in a published article. The editorial team will assess the concern and, where necessary, investigate in accordance with appropriate publication-ethics principles.

Editorial Responsibility

The journal reserves the right to issue corrections, expressions of concern, or retractions when necessary to protect the integrity and accuracy of the academic record. Decisions will be made based on the available evidence and appropriate editorial and ethical considerations.
