Mandala of Health: A Scientific Journal takes allegations of research misconduct seriously. Research misconduct includes, but is not limited to, fabrication, falsification, plagiarism, inappropriate authorship, and other practices that violate research integrity and publication ethics.
All allegations are assessed fairly, confidentially, and objectively by the editorial team. When necessary, the journal may request explanations or supporting evidence from the authors and consult relevant institutions or ethics committees. Appropriate actions will be taken based on the findings and in accordance with established publication ethics guidelines, including those of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
If misconduct is confirmed, the journal may reject the manuscript, retract a published article, or take other appropriate corrective actions.
