SCIRP recognizes the importance of the integrity and completeness of the scholarly
record. The historic record of published research articles shall remain available
and unaltered as far as possible. However, circumstances may arise where a paper
got published based on misconduct or honest error. It may become necessary to correct
the scholarly record in the most appropriate form:
• Expression of Concern
• Correction (Erratum or Corrigendum)
• Retraction
• Removal
Guiding principles for these measures are
COPE's Retraction Guidelines and other accepted scholarly
principles. The responsibility of correcting the records is with the editor of the
journal concerned.
