Complaints Handling Policy

If the Journal receives a complaint alleging that a contribution to the Journal violates intellectual property rights, contains material inaccuracies, defamatory content, or is otherwise unlawful, the Journal will investigate the complaint. A request that the parties involved substantiate their assertions may be made as part of the investigation. The Journal will decide whether to remove the purportedly illegal material in good faith. A decision not to remove information should reflect the Journal's opinion that the complaint lacks sufficient foundation, or that if well-founded, a legal defence or exemption, such as truthfulness of a statement in the event of libel, may apply. The journal should keep a record of its research and decision. We work hard to guarantee that the Journal of Computational Mathematica is of the best quality and error-free. We accept, however, that mistakes may occur from time to time.

Policy on Editorial Complaints

The Editor and staff of Journal of Computational Mathematica will make every effort to rectify the situation as soon as possible in the most acceptable manner, including the right of reply when applicable. As much as possible, we will review complaints without assigning responsibility, searching for ways to enhance procedures to avoid mistakes.
