The International Journal of Interdisciplinary Viewpoints (IJIV) is committed to maintaining the accuracy, integrity, and reliability of the scholarly record. When significant errors, ethical concerns, or research misconduct are identified in published articles, the journal will take appropriate corrective actions through corrections, retractions, or editorial notices.

Corrections

Corrections may be issued when published articles contain errors that do not invalidate the overall findings of the study but require clarification or amendment. These may include:

• Typographical or formatting errors
• Incorrect author information or affiliations
• Minor inaccuracies in data, references, or citations
• Errors introduced during the editorial or publication process

All corrections will be clearly linked to the original article to ensure transparency and proper documentation.

Retractions

Articles may be retracted when there is clear evidence of:

• Plagiarism or duplicate publication
• Data fabrication or falsification
• Serious ethical or methodological violations
• Unreliable findings or misleading conclusions
• Unauthorized use of copyrighted materials

Retraction notices will remain publicly accessible and will clearly state the reasons for the retraction to preserve the integrity of the scholarly record.

Expressions of Concern

In situations where an investigation is ongoing and conclusive evidence is not yet available, IJIV may issue an expression of concern to inform readers about potential issues related to a published article.

Ethical Oversight

The journal follows internationally recognized publication ethics standards and may coordinate with authors, reviewers, editors, and affiliated institutions when investigating ethical concerns or allegations of misconduct.

IJIV is committed to ensuring transparency, accountability, and responsible scholarly publishing in all stages of the editorial and publication process.
