During the time, Culture & Society: Journal of Anthropological Research had spent valuable resources besides time spent in the process.

Paid upon official request from the author(s) in an email sent to Culture & Society: Journal of Anthropological Research editor using the same email address used in correspondence.

Culture & Society: Journal of Anthropological Research editors shall consider retracting a publication if:

• they have clear evidence that the findings are unreliable, either as a result of misconduct (e.g. data fabri.cation) or honest error (e.g. miscalculation or experimental error)
• the findings have previously been published elsewhere without proper cross-referencing, permission or justification (i.e. cases of redundant publication)
• it constitutes plagiarism
• it reports unethical research

 

Culture & Society: Journal of Anthropological Research editors shall consider issuing an expression of concern if:

• they receive inconclusive evidence of research or publication misconduct by the authors
• there is evidence that the findings are unreliable but the authors’ institution will not investigate the case
• they believe that an investigation into alleged misconduct related to the publication either has not been, or would not be, fair and impartial or conclusive
• an investigation is underway but a judgment will not be available for a considerable time

Culture & Society: Journal of Anthropological Research editors shall consider issuing a correction if:

• a small portion of an otherwise reliable publication proves to be misleading (especially because of honest error)
• the author/contributor list is incorrect (i.e. a deserving author has been omitted or somebody who does not meet authorship criteria has been included)
