Erratum, Retraction & Withdrawal Policy

Erratum

Editors, authors, and readers, whoever finds that a correction is required in the publication, please feel free to contact ALPS.Journals@gmail.com. Please clearly state the content needing to be changed. Please also send the article title, DOI, and page number to us. Upon approval by the Editorial Office, an erratum will be published in the current issue. If the author agrees, a processing fee of 3,500 THB must be paid.

Retraction

The journal considers retracting the publication if specific conditions are met, including but not limited to:

  • Unreliable Findings & Fabrication: Editors have clear evidence that the findings are unreliable, either as a result of significant error (e.g., calculation or experimental error), or as a result of fabrication (e.g., data fabrication or the presence of non-existent references/citations caused by AI Hallucinations) or falsification.
  • Unethical Conduct & AI Misuse: The findings have previously been published elsewhere without proper cross-referencing, permission, or justification (redundant publication), or they contain plagiarism, or involve the unethical use of Generative AI (e.g., using AI to generate the manuscript's text or content without disclosure), which violates the Author Self-Certification Form.
  • Unethical Research: It reports unethical research procedures.

The journal will post a notice of retraction clearly identified as a "Retraction" with the reason(s) specified (e.g., "Retracted due to AI Hallucinations/Fabricated References"). The notice will be linked to the retracted article wherever possible to minimize harmful effects and correct the scientific record.

We abide by the Retraction Guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

Please note regarding fees: The Article Processing Charge (APC) will NOT be refunded under any circumstances if an article is retracted for author misconduct, including plagiarism, ethical violations, or the undisclosed use of Generative AI.

 

Withdrawal

This journal does not support withdrawal of publication considering that it may be suspected of academic misconduct. If the author can provide a reasonable application to the Editorial Office after the manuscript has been accepted (but not yet published), and once the Editorial Office has agreed it, then the processing fee of 3,500 THB. is chargeable upon withdrawal. Authors are advised to keep in mind that an article should only be withdrawn if the authors detect significant errors or flaws, as it is not an acceptable practice to withdraw an article after it has been sent for peer review. Once the approval of submission withdrawal is granted, the submission will be removed from the Journal’s online submission system, and a confirmation email of submission withdrawal will be sent to the authors. The withdrawal process is considered to be complete once the author receives confirmation of withdrawal from the Journal Editorial Office.
