Retraction Policy

The retraction of published articles can be initiated by journal editors, authors, or their institutions. In some instances, the retraction must include an apology for the previous errors and/or an acknowledgment to those who identified the mistake. A retraction must be accompanied by a statement indicating that the original article should not be cited or used as a basis for future research. There are several forms of recraction carried out by The International Journal of Acta Material, i.e.:

2. The online article is preceded by a screen containing the retraction note. It is to this screen that the link resolves; the reader can then proceed to the article itself.

3. The original article is retained unchanged save for a watermark on the .pdf indicating on each page that it is “retracted.”

4. The HTML version of the document is removed.
