Post-publication Discussions and Corrections

UJPR kindly requests feedback on any published matters, including layout, format, texts, figures, and tables; moreover, the subject and content of any manuscript sections, particularly the results and discussion and the conclusions, from authors, co-authors, reviewers, and our valued readers. Kindly provide us with the manuscript's details, title, and DOI number. After reviewing your feedback, we'll decide how best to proceed. Any edits made to an article that has already been published in UJPR must have the chief editor's approval. Editor-in-Chief will decide the magnitude of the corrections. Minor corrections are made directly to the original article. For major changes, in cases apply.

Erratum

Erratum refers to a mistake made by the publisher that compromises the accuracy of the version of record, the authors' reputations, or the journal's reputation. An erratum is a brief statement made by the original paper's authors outlining any corrections made in response to mistakes or omissions.  Any impacts on the paper's conclusions must be mentioned. The online journal retains the amended article, but an erratum notice is included. All readers are free to access the erratum, which has a link to the updated article.

Addendum

An article's disclosure of new information is called an addendum. When the editors determine that an addendum is essential to the reader's comprehension of a substantial portion of the published contribution, they publish it. Editorial Expression of concern, an editorial statement notifying our readers of grave concerns regarding the published document, is one of the addenda. Whenever new information becomes available, editorial expressions of Concern are usually amended again.

Addenda do not conflict with the original publication, although they may be published as such if the author unintentionally left out important information. Addenda are often subject to oversight by the journal editors and may be subject to peer review, as per journal policy. Rarely, and only when the journal editors determine that an addendum is essential to the reader's comprehension of a substantial portion of the published article, are addenda related to the article material published. Every addendum has a link back to the original article that it refers to.

Retraction

UJPR follows COPE guidelines for it. A retraction is a notice that the paper should not be regarded as part of the scientific literature. If there is convincing proof that the results are unreliable—due to malfeasance or sincere error, for example—retractions are provided. Retraction takes place in the below conditions;

• if the results have already been published elsewhere without the proper referencing, permission, or justification
• if the work is plagiarized
• if the work presents research that is unethical

To protect the integrity of the record, the retracted article is not removed from the online journal, but notice of retraction is given; it is also made freely available to all readers, and is linked to the retracted article. The authors can publish retractions when they have discovered substantial scientific errors; in other cases, the editors or publisher may conclude that retraction is appropriate. In all cases, the retraction shows the reason for the action and who handles the decision. If a retraction is made without the unanimous agreement of the authors, that is also noted.

In rare and extreme cases involving legal infringement, the publisher may redact or remove an article. Bibliographic information about the article will be retained to ensure the integrity of the scientific record.

Corrigenda

A corrigendum is a statement that the article's authors committed a serious mistake. All corrections are typically approved by the journal's editors; corrigendum or author correction. notification of a significant mistake committed by the author(s) that compromises the paper's scientific integrity, publishing history, authors' or journal's reputation, or all three.
