Retraction Policy

The Journal of Intelligent Computing and Electronic Systems (JICES) is firmly committed to preserving the integrity, accuracy, transparency, and long-term reliability of the scholarly record. The journal recognizes that the credibility of scientific and engineering research depends on the trustworthiness of published findings and the responsible correction of the academic literature when errors or ethical concerns are identified. Maintaining this trust is fundamental to the advancement of science, engineering, and technology, as well as to the confidence placed in scholarly publications by researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and the wider academic community.

Retraction is regarded by JICES as an essential corrective mechanism for addressing serious issues that undermine the validity or integrity of published research. Such issues may arise from ethical misconduct, technical flaws, factual inaccuracies, or violations of publication standards that significantly affect the reliability of the research findings or conclusions. Through the retraction process, the journal seeks to ensure that readers are promptly and clearly informed when published content is no longer considered reliable.

The Journal of Intelligent Computing and Electronic Systems follows internationally accepted principles of publication ethics and best practices in handling retractions. All retraction decisions are made with a commitment to fairness, objectivity, transparency, and due process. Each case is evaluated carefully on its own merits, with appropriate consideration given to the evidence, the nature of the concern, and the potential impact on the scholarly record.

JICES emphasizes that retraction is not intended to punish authors or damage professional reputations. Rather, it is a necessary and responsible action taken to protect the integrity of academic literature and to ensure that readers, researchers, and indexing services are accurately informed about the status of published work. Where possible, the journal seeks to distinguish between honest errors and deliberate misconduct, and to apply corrective measures proportionately.

In cases where issues are identified after publication, JICES follows a structured and ethical review process that includes communication with the author(s), examination of relevant documentation, and consultation with the editorial board when necessary. This process ensures that all decisions related to retraction are evidence-based, transparent, and aligned with recognized ethical guidelines.

By maintaining a clear and robust retraction policy, the Journal of Intelligent Computing and Electronic Systems demonstrates its commitment to responsible scholarly publishing, academic accountability, and research integrity. Through transparent correction of the academic record, JICES seeks to uphold the trust of its readers and contributors, support the responsible advancement of knowledge, and reinforce the ethical foundations of research in intelligent computing, electronic systems, and interdisciplinary engineering technologies.
