Home » Post-publication Discussions and Corrections Policy
At Shivaanya Publications, we recognize the importance of ongoing scholarly discourse and the need for transparency and accountability in the publication process. While we strive to maintain the highest standards of quality and accuracy in our journals, we acknowledge that errors or issues may occasionally arise post-publication. Therefore, we have established a framework for post-publication discussions and corrections to address such concerns promptly and transparently, ensuring the integrity and credibility of our publications.
Shivaanya Publications values feedback from readers, authors, and the academic community regarding published articles. We encourage open communication and constructive criticism to foster scholarly discourse and promote continuous improvement in our publications.
Readers, authors, or other stakeholders may identify errors, inaccuracies, or other issues in published articles. These issues may include factual errors, methodological flaws, misinterpretations, or ethical concerns. Once identified, stakeholders are encouraged to report the issues to the editorial team for review.
Shivaanya Publications provides multiple channels for stakeholders to report issues with published articles. These may include contacting the editorial office directly, submitting comments or corrections through the journal’s website, or engaging in discussions on social media platforms or academic forums.
Upon receiving reports of issues with published articles, the editorial team conducts a thorough review and assessment of the concerns raised. This may involve consulting with the authors, reviewers, and other relevant parties to gather additional information and context.
Depending on the nature and severity of the issues identified, Shivaanya Publications may implement various types of corrections or updates to address them. These corrections may include errata, corrigenda, expressions of concern, retractions, or editorial notes, as appropriate.
Errata are published to correct minor errors or mistakes in published articles that do not significantly affect the overall interpretation or conclusions of the research. Errata typically include a brief description of the error, the correct information, and an explanation of the correction.
Corrigenda are published to correct substantive errors or inaccuracies in published articles that may impact the interpretation or conclusions of the research. Corrigenda provide a detailed explanation of the error, the correct information, and any implications for the research findings.
In cases where concerns are raised about the integrity or validity of published research, Shivaanya Publications may issue an expression of concern. Expressions of concern alert readers to potential issues with the article pending further investigation.
Retractions are issued in cases of serious misconduct, ethical violations, or irreproducibility of research findings. Retracted articles are withdrawn from the journal and marked as retracted to alert readers to the issues identified.
Editorial notes may be published to provide additional context, clarification, or commentary on published articles. These notes may address reader feedback, highlight related research, or offer insights into the article’s significance.
Authors of the affected articles are typically involved in the correction process and may be asked to review and approve proposed corrections. Authors are expected to cooperate fully with the editorial team and to provide any necessary revisions or clarifications promptly.
Shivaanya Publications is committed to transparency and disclosure throughout the post-publication correction process. Corrections and updates are clearly marked and linked to the original articles to ensure readers are aware of the changes made.
Shivaanya Publications communicates corrections and updates to readers through multiple channels, including the journal’s website, email alerts, social media, and academic databases. Readers are informed promptly and transparently about any changes to published articles.
Shivaanya Publications views post-publication discussions and corrections as opportunities for learning and improvement. We analyze the underlying causes of issues identified and implement measures to prevent similar issues from occurring in the future.
Shivaanya Publications is committed to maintaining the integrity and credibility of our publications through transparent and accountable post-publication discussions and corrections. We welcome feedback and encourage ongoing dialogue to promote continuous improvement in our publications.
