Corrections & Retractions

The published record must be accurate. Global Multidisciplinary Open Research Journal follows COPE retraction guidelines.

Corrections

If a published article contains an error that affects its interpretation, a correction notice is published and linked to the article. Minor errors that do not affect the content, such as typing errors, may be corrected directly with a note of the change.

Expressions of concern

Where there is serious doubt about an article but an investigation is not yet complete, the editors may publish an expression of concern.

Retractions

An article is retracted when its findings are unreliable through error or misconduct, it is plagiarised or duplicates earlier work, or it breaches ethical standards. A retracted article stays online, clearly marked "Retracted", with a notice explaining why, so the scholarly record remains complete.

Reporting a problem

Anyone can report a concern about a published article through the Contact page. Reports are handled confidentially.
