Retraction and Withdrawal

JIGC is committed to maintaining the integrity of the academic record. In rare cases where a published article must be retracted, JIGC will follow the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

Reasons for retraction may include (but are not limited to):

• Significant plagiarism.

• Fraudulent or manipulated data.

• Fundamental errors in methodology or analysis that invalidate the conclusions.

The retraction process will be transparent: a "Notice of Retraction" will be published and linked to the retracted article, clearly stating the reason for retraction.
