Corrections and Retraction Policy

1. Purpose

The Irsa Journal of Sports Studies and Physical Education (IJSSPE) is committed to maintaining the accuracy, reliability, and integrity of the scholarly record. The journal recognizes the importance of correcting significant errors and addressing concerns that may affect the validity or ethical integrity of published research.

This policy outlines the journal's approach to corrections, retractions, and other appropriate actions concerning published articles.

2. Corrections to Published Articles

If an error is identified in a published article, the journal will assess its nature and potential impact on the accuracy, interpretation, or reliability of the published work.

When a correction is considered necessary, the journal may publish a correction notice explaining the relevant error and the changes made.

Corrections may be considered for errors that do not invalidate the overall findings or conclusions of the article but require clarification or amendment to maintain the accuracy of the scholarly record.

3. Retraction of Published Articles

Retraction may be considered when substantial concerns arise regarding the reliability, originality, or ethical integrity of a published article.

Possible grounds for retraction include, but are not limited to:

  • Confirmed plagiarism or substantial overlap with previously published work.

  • Fabrication or falsification of research data or results.

  • Duplicate publication that materially compromises the originality of the published record.

  • Serious errors that invalidate the main findings or conclusions of the article.

  • Significant violations of research or publication ethics.

Retraction decisions will be based on an assessment of the available information and the seriousness of the concerns identified.

4. Reporting Errors and Ethical Concerns

Authors, readers, reviewers, and other concerned parties may notify the journal's editorial office of suspected errors or ethical concerns involving published articles.

Reports should provide sufficient information to identify the article and explain the nature of the concern. Supporting documentation may be provided where available.

The journal will assess the information received and determine whether further consideration or appropriate editorial action is warranted.

5. Editorial Assessment and Decisions

The journal will consider relevant evidence when assessing requests for corrections or concerns that may warrant retraction.

Where appropriate, the journal may seek clarification from the authors or consider additional information relevant to the matter.

The decision to issue a correction or retract an article rests with the journal's responsible editor, taking into account the available evidence, the significance of the issue, and the journal's publication ethics principles.

6. Transparency and the Scholarly Record

When a correction or retraction is issued, the journal aims to communicate the nature of the action clearly to readers.

Any published notice should identify the affected article and explain the reason for the correction or retraction, to the extent appropriate and supported by the available information.

The journal seeks to preserve the transparency and integrity of the scholarly record while ensuring that editorial actions are justified and proportionate to the concerns identified.

7. Authors' Responsibilities

Authors are expected to notify the journal if they discover a significant error in their published work that may affect its accuracy, interpretation, or reliability.

Authors are also expected to cooperate appropriately with the journal when questions arise concerning the integrity or accuracy of their publications.

8. Final Statement

IJSSPE is committed to responsible editorial practices and the correction of the scholarly record when necessary. Decisions concerning corrections and retractions are made with due consideration of academic integrity, publication ethics, and the reliability of published research.
