• If the claim is substantiated, the article may be retracted, and a notice of retraction will be published with a detailed explanation.

5. Consequences of Copyright Infringement

• Articles found to be in violation of copyright laws will be removed from the journal’s archives, and the authors may face penalties, including bans from submitting to the journal in the future.

• Authors may also face legal action from the original copyright holders, and the journal will cooperate with authorities during such proceedings.
