Withdrawal & Retraction Policy

This policy allows authors to withdraw their manuscript at any stage of the process, as long as a valid reason is provided. For manuscripts that have already been published, retraction may only occur for legitimate reasons such as errors, misconduct, or ethical violations. The withdrawal policy ensures that the integrity of the journal remains intact.

For the retraction of published articles, Pioneer J Biostat Med Res adheres to the guidelines set by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). These guidelines provide a clear framework for handling retractions in cases of errors, ethical issues, or research misconduct, ensuring transparency and accountability. The journal is committed to maintaining the integrity of the academic record by following COPE's best practices for retraction and ensuring that all retracted articles are appropriately flagged and corrected in the published content. https://publicationethics.org/retraction-guidelines
