The Revenue Law Journal (RLJ) is committed to maintaining the accuracy, integrity, and reliability of the scholarly record. In accordance with the recommendations of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), the journal will promptly correct or retract published content when necessary to ensure the integrity of the academic literature.

Corrections

A correction may be issued when a published article contains an error that affects the accuracy or clarity of the publication but does not invalidate the overall findings or conclusions of the research.

Examples include:

• Typographical or formatting errors.
• Errors in author names or affiliations.
• Incorrect figures, tables, or references.
• Minor factual inaccuracies.
• Metadata or citation errors.

Corrections will be clearly identified, linked to the original article, and published as soon as possible to maintain an accurate scholarly record.

Retractions

A published article may be retracted if reliable evidence demonstrates that the findings or conclusions are no longer trustworthy due to reasons including, but not limited to:

• Plagiarism.
• Data fabrication or falsification.
• Duplicate or redundant publication.
• Serious ethical violations.
• Unauthorized use of copyrighted material.
• Major errors that invalidate the research findings.
• Peer-review manipulation or other forms of publication misconduct.

Retraction notices will clearly explain the reason for the retraction and will remain permanently linked to the original article. Whenever possible, the original article will remain available online with a clear indication that it has been retracted, preserving the transparency and integrity of the scholarly record.

Expressions of Concern

Where serious concerns exist but conclusive evidence is not yet available, the journal may publish an Expression of Concern while an investigation is ongoing. This notice will remain associated with the article until the matter is resolved.

Investigation Process

All requests for corrections or allegations requiring retraction are carefully evaluated by the Editorial Office. Investigations are conducted fairly, confidentially, and impartially in accordance with COPE recommendations. Where appropriate, the journal may consult reviewers, authors, institutions, or funding organizations before making a final decision.

Author Responsibilities

Authors are expected to notify the Editorial Office immediately if they discover a significant error or inaccuracy in their published work. Authors must cooperate fully with the journal during any investigation concerning corrections, retractions, or other post-publication issues.

Editorial Responsibility

The Editor-in-Chief has the final authority regarding the publication of corrections, expressions of concern, and retractions. Editorial decisions are made solely to protect the integrity of the scholarly record and are not influenced by commercial or personal interests.

Commitment to Publication Integrity

Revenue Law Journal is dedicated to preserving the credibility and reliability of published research. The journal follows the COPE Core Practices and internationally recognized publication ethics guidelines to ensure that corrections, retractions, and post-publication updates are handled transparently, consistently, and responsibly.
