Correction Policy

Research Mosaic (RM) is committed to maintaining the accuracy, reliability, and integrity of the scholarly record. Published content is subject to editorial and peer-review processes designed to uphold appropriate standards of accuracy, clarity, and research integrity.

Authors are provided an opportunity to review and proofread their manuscripts before publication and are responsible for carefully checking the accuracy of the final proofs. Nevertheless, errors or issues may occasionally be identified after publication.

After publication, the version of record will not be silently altered. Any substantive correction will be documented through a dated correction notice linked to the original article. Corrections, corrigenda, or errata will be issued when necessary to maintain the accuracy and integrity of the scholarly record and will be clearly identified and linked to the affected article. Minor typographical or formatting errors that do not affect the meaning, interpretation, or integrity of the scholarly record may be corrected without issuing a separate correction notice, where appropriate.

The journal takes concerns relating to plagiarism, copyright infringement, research misconduct, and other breaches of publication ethics seriously. Where appropriate, RM may issue a correction, update, replacement, expression of concern, or retraction, depending on the nature and significance of the issue. Retractions and expressions of concern will follow applicable COPE guidance and will remain permanently linked to the affected article.

Corrective actions are undertaken transparently and in accordance with applicable publication-ethics principles, with the aim of preserving the accuracy, transparency, and integrity of the scholarly record and protecting the interests of authors, readers, and the wider academic community.
