Policy on Corrections and Retractions

At Nexus House Editorial, we are fully committed to safeguarding the academic record by maintaining the highest standards of editorial integrity and scientific quality. We understand that post-publication issues may arise, and we have clear policies in place to address necessary corrections and retractions.

1. Corrections

  • When are corrections issued?
    Corrections will be published when significant errors are identified in a published article that may impact the interpretation of results or conclusions—such as inaccuracies in data, methodology, or author attribution.

  • How to request a correction:
    Authors must submit a formal request to editor@nexushouse.org, clearly describing the error and the proposed correction.

  • Editorial review:
    The editorial board will assess the request and determine whether the correction is justified and how it should be implemented.

  • Correction notice:
    Approved corrections will be published in a linked notice, describing the nature of the error and the changes made, ensuring transparency.

2. Retractions

  • When is a retraction warranted?

    • Fraudulent or manipulated data.

    • Redundant publication without proper citation.

    • Ethical violations (e.g., unauthorized use of third-party data).

    • New evidence that invalidates the article’s findings.

  • Retraction process:

    • Request: Any individual (author, reader, or reviewer) may submit a retraction request with justification and supporting documentation.

    • Editorial evaluation: A full review will be conducted by the editorial board, with consultation from experts if needed.

    • Retraction notice: If justified, a retraction statement will be issued, clearly stating the reason and linking to the original article, which will be marked as retracted.

3. Transparency and Documentation

All correction and retraction procedures will be thoroughly documented and communicated openly to maintain trust in the scholarly record.

4. Ethical Commitment

Through these policies, Nexus House Editorial reinforces its responsibility to uphold research integrity, ensuring that all published content meets the highest standards of scientific and editorial ethics.
