Policies on Article Retraction and Removal
The IIETA fully recognizes the importance of the integrity and completeness of the scholarly record to researchers and engineers. Considering the best practice in the scholarly community, the IIETA’s policies on article retraction and removal are outlined below.
Article retraction may occur in a clearly documented instance of infringement of professional ethical codes, such as plagiarism, multiple submissions, bogus claims of authorship, to name but a few. Occasionally, a retraction will be used to correct errors in submission or publication.
Article removal may occur as a consequence of legal limitations upon the publisher, copyright holder or author(s). If electronic rights to the content cannot be secured, an article may also be removed prior to online publication of the journal.
The above policies will be revisited as standards evolve and change.
