JIIP will publish a correction when a material error in a published article requires clarification or amendment but does not invalidate the overall reliability of the research. Examples may include errors in author details, affiliations, figures, tables, or factual statements, depending on their effect on the article. The correction notice will identify the affected article, describe the error, state the correction, and link to the original publication. This procedure follows the principles in COPE's position on the visibility of corrections and retractions.

The Editor-in-Chief may issue an expression of concern when credible evidence raises substantial doubts about a published article but the investigation remains incomplete or the available evidence does not yet support a definitive editorial decision. The notice will explain the concern to the extent that the journal can do so fairly and lawfully. The journal will update the notice or take further action when the investigation reaches a sufficiently supported conclusion, following COPE's guidance on expressions of concern.

JIIP may retract a published article when reliable evidence shows that its findings or conclusions cannot be trusted, or when serious publication or research misconduct compromises the scholarly record. Grounds may include fabricated or falsified data, substantial plagiarism, seriously misleading content, unethical research, compromised peer review, or other major integrity failures. Retraction aims to correct the scholarly record rather than punish the authors. The journal will apply the COPE Retraction Guidelines, Version 3, published in 2025.

A retraction notice will identify the article and its authors, explain the reason for retraction as clearly as the available evidence permits, and link directly to the original publication. The notice will be published promptly after the editor reaches a sufficiently supported decision and will remain freely accessible. The journal will preserve the retracted article's bibliographic record and clearly mark its status rather than silently removing the article from the scholarly record. These practices follow the COPE Retraction Guidelines and its guidance on notice visibility.

Authors who wish to withdraw a manuscript before publication must submit a written request to the editorial office explaining the reason for withdrawal. The journal will confirm the manuscript's status and determine whether the request can proceed without compromising an ongoing ethical investigation or an existing publication obligation. The editorial office will retain an appropriate administrative record of the request.

Withdrawal of a manuscript before publication differs from retraction of an article that has already entered the scholarly record. The journal will not use withdrawal to conceal substantiated misconduct or to avoid an appropriate investigation. When concerns arise, the editor will follow the procedures in COPE's guidance on responding to suspected ethical breaches.
