* If an infringement of scientific ethical code is indicated before the publication of the article, the editor returns the article to the author, along with a withdrawal letter from the Editor-in-Chief

* If infringements of the scientific code of ethics are noted after the article is published, there are several mechanisms that can occur: The online article is preceded by a screen with a retraction note. The link to this screen is resolved; the reader can then move on to the article itself, The original article is retained unchanged save for a watermark on the .pdf indicating on each page that it is “retracted.”, The PDF version of the document is removed.

In an extremely limited number of cases, it may be necessary to remove an article from the online database of JIAE.

In these circumstances, while the metadata (Title and Authors) will be retained, the text will be replaced with a screen indicating the article has been removed for legal reasons.

The authors of the original article may wish to withdraw the erroneous original and replace it with a corrected version, where the article could pose a serious risk if considered. In these cases, withdrawal procedures will be followed, with the difference that the database retraction notice publishes a link to the corrected republished article and a history of the document.
