8. Corrections and Retractions

If a significant error is identified after publication, IJARR may publish a correction, clarification, or other appropriate notice.

If an article is found to contain serious errors or confirmed publication misconduct that substantially affects its reliability, the journal may consider retraction in order to maintain the integrity of the scholarly record.
