Concerns and Corrections

The Journal examines reports of suspected violations of publication ethics and academic integrity in accordance with its Regulations. Technical screening tools may be used to assist the assessment; however, their results are auxiliary, and any determination of misconduct must be based on substantive examination.

Any interested person may report a suspected violation of publication ethics to the editorial office at csljournal@cu.edu.ge. The Editorial Board examines the relevant circumstances within a reasonable period and, where necessary, provides the author or another interested person with an opportunity to submit an explanation.

Where a violation is confirmed, the Editorial Board may determine appropriate measures, taking into account the nature and severity of the misconduct. For unpublished manuscripts, the final editorial decision remains with the Editor-in-Chief in accordance with the Journal's Regulations.

Where a violation concerning a published manuscript is confirmed, the reasoned decision of the Editorial Board is published on the Journal's official electronic platform or, where necessary, in a subsequent issue.

Authors are responsible for the opinions, assessments and conclusions expressed in their published works. The Journal, the Editor-in-Chief and the Editorial Board are not liable for authors' individual views, except where a violation of publication ethics by the Journal has been established.
