Journal of Software Engineering Ampera (Journal-SEA) maintains the integrity of the scholarly record and follows the COPE Retraction Guidelines. Published articles are not removed or altered silently; any change is made through one of the following notices, which is published, linked to the original article, and assigned its own DOI where applicable.

Correction (Erratum / Corrigendum)

Issued when a small part of an otherwise reliable article is found to be inaccurate or misleading (for example, an error in a table, figure, author name, or affiliation). An erratum corrects an error introduced by the journal; a corrigendum corrects an error made by the authors.

Expression of Concern

Issued by the editors when there are serious concerns about the reliability of an article but the investigation is not yet conclusive.

Retraction

Issued when there is clear evidence that the findings are unreliable (due to misconduct or honest error), or in cases of plagiarism, duplicate publication, unethical research, or fabricated data. The retracted article remains available online, clearly watermarked “RETRACTED”, together with a retraction notice explaining the reasons.

Requesting a correction or retraction

Authors who discover an error in their published article must notify the editor promptly through the journal contact. Third parties may also report suspected errors. All requests are assessed by the editors, who make the final decision.
