Correction & Retraction Policy

ALP maintains a transparent scholarly environment by promptly addressing errors and ethical violations in published work.

1. Corrections We distinguish between Errata (publisher errors) and Corrigenda (author errors). All corrections are fully open access and permanently linked to the affected article to ensure traceability.

2. Retractions In cases of proven plagiarism or unethical authorship, ALP will initiate an internal review in line with COPE guidelines. If confirmed, a public retraction notice stating the reason and responsibility will be published.

3. Ethical Governance ALP adheres to the standards set by the Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan and the Committee on Publication Ethics.
