de Partial Journal is fully committed to upholding the integrity and completeness of the scholarly record for the benefit of our academic community. Modifications to published articles are only permitted under specific and justified conditions as outlined below. We prioritize the academic authority and credibility of all published work, and our policies align with international best practices in scholarly publishing.

Erratum refers to a formal correction made by the authors of the original publication to address errors or omissions that occurred during the writing or production process. If the error impacts the conclusions of the article, this must be clearly stated. The original article will remain available in the journal, with a notice of the erratum prominently linked and freely accessible to readers.

Retraction is a formal notification indicating that a published article should no longer be considered a valid part of the academic literature. A retraction may occur due to proven unreliability of findings (due to honest mistakes or misconduct), prior publication without appropriate reference or justification, plagiarism, or unethical research practices. Retracted articles are not removed, but are clearly marked as retracted, and the retraction notice is made freely available and linked to the original article. Retractions can be initiated by the authors or, when necessary, by the Editors or Publisher. The retraction notice will specify the reasons and the responsible party. If retraction is not agreed upon by all authors, this will also be indicated. In exceptional legal cases, the article may be removed entirely, while retaining the bibliographic metadata to preserve the integrity of the publication record.

Publisher’s Note is a formal announcement issued by the Publisher when a correction is required due to production or typographical errors caused during the publication process. These errors may involve elements such as article title, author names, or affiliations, which may impact the readability or citation of the article. In such cases, the original version is replaced by a corrected one, and the Publisher’s Note is made freely available. For minor issues that do not affect article integrity or reader understanding, corrections may be made without a formal notice, at the Publisher's discretion.

In general, corrected versions may only be issued within one year of the article’s original publication date. After this period, only a Publisher’s Note will be issued to document changes.

For further guidance, we refer to the COPE Guidelines for Retracting Articles.
