Corrections, Expressions of Concern, and Retractions Policy

Al-Furat Journal of Innovations in Agricultural Sciences (FJIAS) is committed to maintaining the accuracy and integrity of the scholarly record.

The journal follows COPE guidelines in handling post-publication issues.

Corrections

If errors are identified that do not invalidate the findings of the article (e.g., typographical errors, minor data inaccuracies, author details), a formal correction (Erratum or Corrigendum) will be published and linked to the original article.

Expressions of Concern

If serious concerns arise regarding the integrity of a published article but conclusive evidence is not yet available, the journal may publish an Expression of Concern while an investigation is ongoing.

Retractions

Retractions may be issued in cases involving:

  • Plagiarism

  • Data fabrication or falsification

  • Unethical research practices

  • Serious methodological errors invalidating conclusions

  • Duplicate publication

Retracted articles will remain accessible online but will be clearly marked as “Retracted” to preserve the scholarly record.

All retraction decisions are made by the Editor-in-Chief in consultation with the Editorial Board and, where appropriate, the authors’ institution.
