Política de retractación

During the publication process, even afterwards, if an author identifies a major error or inaccuracy in his/her article, he/she should communicate this to the journal editors and provide them with all the necessary information for modification and correction of the error in the article. For this purpose, the guidelines established by COPE (https://publicationethics.org/files/cope-guias-para-la-retractacion.pdf) shall be followed:

Errata

An erratum notice will be published when it is necessary to correct an error or omission made by the journal after publication that may affect the publication record or the reputation of the authorship or the journal, but where the scholarly integrity of the article remains intact.

All errors will be accompanied by a separate notice. The notice should provide clear details of the error and the changes that have been made to the paper.

In these circumstances:

1.The article will be corrected.
2. An endnote will be added to the article with a reference to the erratum notice.
3.A separate erratum or corrigendum notice linked to the corrected version will be published.
4.The erratum or corrigendum document will be paginated and with DOI.

Corrections
A correction notice will be produced when it is necessary to correct an error or omission made by authors that affects the publication record or the reputation of the authorship or the journal, but where the academic integrity of the article remains intact.

All errors will be accompanied by a separate notice. The notice should provide clear details of the error and the changes that have been made to the paper. In these circumstances:

1.The article will be corrected.
2.An endnote will be added to the article with a reference to the correction notice.
3.A separate erratum or corrigendum notice linked to the corrected version will be published.
4.The erratum or corrigendum document will be paginated and with DOI.

Retractions

A notice of retraction will be issued when a major error invalidates the conclusions of the article, or when there has been research misconduct or publication misconduct. Authors may request retraction of their articles if their reasons meet the criteria for retraction.

Retraction will be considered:

-If there is clear evidence that the findings are unreliable, either as a result of misconduct (e.g., data fabrication or image manipulation) or error (e.g., miscalculation or experimental error).
-If the findings have been previously published elsewhere without proper cross-referencing, permission or justification (e.g., cases of redundant publication or duplicate publication).
Whether the research constitutes plagiarism.
-If there is evidence of fraudulent authorship.
-If there is evidence of compromised peer review.
-If there is evidence of unethical research and breaches of professional ethical codes.
Where a decision has been made to retract an article:

1.An 'article retracted' watermark shall be added to the published version of the article record.
2.Article retracted: [article title] shall be placed in front of the article title.
3.A separate retraction statement, entitled 'Retraction: [article title]', shall be published and linked to the retracted article. This note shall be signed by the editors of the journal.
4.The retraction statement will be paginated and assigned a DOI.

Deletion of articles

Removal of an item will be carried out in exceptional circumstances where the problems are of a very serious nature and cannot be addressed by a correction or retraction notice.

This will only occur:

-Where the article is clearly defamatory, or infringes other legal rights.
-Where an article is subject to a court order.
-Where the article, if not acted upon, could pose a serious health risk.
In the event that an article is removed, the metadata (authorship and title) will be retained and the text will be replaced by a document stating that the article has been removed for legal reasons.

To this end, the journal is a member of CrossRef's CrossMark application, which verifies the current, authenticated official version of an editorial content, listing the changes that have occurred since its publication. By applying the CrossMark logo to the metadata and pdf file, Tavira commits to maintaining the content it publishes and alerting readers to changes as they occur. With a single click, you can see whether content has been updated, corrected or withdrawn, and access additional valuable metadata provided by the member, such as important publication dates (submission, review, acceptance), authors' ORCIDs, content type, plagiarism, review status, and information on funding, licensing, peer review and location of research data.
