Retraction, Correction, and Withdrawal Policy

Women Faith and Society  recognizes the dedication and effort authors invest in preparing their manuscripts, as well as the rigorous peer-review process conducted by our editorial team. However, situations may occasionally arise where published articles require correction, clarification, retraction, or withdrawal due to scientific inaccuracies or ethical concerns. Such actions are never taken lightly and occur only under extraordinary circumstances.

• Article Corrections: Issued to correct significant errors of fact, miscalculations, or omission of critical metadata that affect the interpretation of the research without invalidating its main findings.
• Retractions: Applied in cases of major scientific flaws, unreliable findings, severe ethical breaches, plagiarism, or duplicate publication. Retracted articles will remain accessible in the digital archives, clearly marked as retracted to maintain scientific transparency.
• Article Withdrawals: Extremely rare and reserved primarily for early-access articles or manuscripts containing legal violations, court orders, or severe privacy risks.
