Errata Retractions and Addenda

If a thorough review reveals that the published paper has flaws that seriously impair its results and conclusions, a formal retraction will be taken into consideration. When withdrawing papers, SvedbergOpen adheres to the principles set forth by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

Journal editors ought to think about retracting an article if:

•    If the flaws in the article are shown to be so serious that they prevent it from being published in the journal, they are likely violations of professional ethical codes, such as duplicate submissions, fraudulent data usage, plagiarism, and false authorship claims.
•    It has computation errors, experimental mistakes, or the primary conclusion is now invalid or substantially weakened due to newly discovered information that the authors were unaware of when it was published.
•    If an article contains plagiarism, the journal will remove the whole article and replace it with a note that includes the names of the writers and a description of the plagiarism. Notification will be sent to the authors' universities.

It should be noted that authors who retain copyright for an article do not inevitably possess the authority to withdraw it upon publication. In situations like these, COPE’s Retraction Guidelines are still applicable because maintaining the published scientific record’s integrity is crucial.

Peer review will be conducted by the Editor-In-Chief, an Associate Editor, and the reviewer who examined the original paper if the author requests any necessary modifications. The revisions will be published in the category below following the Editor-in-Chief and Associate Editor's final approval.

Erratum
Errata pertain to the correction of mistakes made by the journal during production or editing that have an impact on the journal's reputation or the scientific validity of information provided.

Corrigendum
A corrigendum is a significant revision written by the author that has an impact on the journal's reputation, the authors' reputations, or the scientific validity of information released. Corrigenda submitted for publication require the signature of all authors and will be subject to editor scrutiny and may even go through peer review.

Addendum
Addenda are important, peer-reviewed additions to the original publication's interpretation that have an impact on the journal's reputation, the authors' reputations, or the scientific validity of the information published. Addenda do not conflict with the original publication; but, during peer review, if the authors unintentionally left out important information that was at hand, it will be published as an addendum.
