KRJEL corrects the scholarly record openly when errors or misconduct come to light, following COPE guidance. Published articles are never silently changed or deleted.

Notice	When it is used
Correction (erratum)	An honest error that affects part of the article but not its main conclusions
Expression of concern	Serious concerns are raised and an investigation is still under way
Retraction	The findings are unreliable because of major error or misconduct, or the work is plagiarised or duplicated

 

Each notice is published with its own DOI and linked to the original article. A retracted article stays online, clearly marked "Retracted", with the reason stated.

Reporting a problem. Anyone may report a possible error or misconduct to journal email with supporting evidence. Reports are handled confidentially.

Appeals. Authors who believe a decision was wrong may appeal once, in writing, to the Editor-in-Chief within 30 days, explaining why. The appeal is reviewed by an editor not involved in the original decision, who may seek a further independent review. The outcome is communicated within [30] days and is final.

Complaints. Complaints about the journal's processes or staff go to the Editor-in-Chief at journal email . If the complaint concerns the Editor-in-Chief, send it to the publisher at admin@inlightpublishers.com.
