Retraction

Statement on Retractions (Current Status)

The Al-Rafidain Dental Journal has an established Post-Publication Discussions, Corrections, and Retractions Policy, in accordance with international publishing standards and the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

At this time, no articles published in the journal have required retraction, and therefore no retraction notices are currently displayed.
This reflects that, to date, no cases have met the criteria that warrant a formal retraction based on ethical, methodological, authorship, or data-integrity concerns.

Nevertheless, the journal ensures full transparency by publicly displaying its policy, and it remains fully prepared to issue and publish any future correction, expression of concern, or retraction promptly and according to COPE procedures.
All such notices, when applicable, will be permanently available in the journal’s official records.

This is reviewed annually and updated in accordance with COPE developments and journal policy evolution.
