Criteria for a complaint

Our definition of a complaint is as follows:

  • The complainant defines his/her expression of unhappiness as a complaint.
  • We infer that the complainant is not simply disagreeing with a decision we have made or something we have published (which happens every day), but thinks there has been a flaw in the process - for example, a long delay or a rude response - or a serious error of judgment.
  • The complaint should be about something that is the responsibility of RPCFO and content or process.

RPCFO is aware of the complaints below:

  • Authorship complaints.
  • Plagiarism complaints.
  • Multiple, duplicate, simultaneous/simultaneous submissions.
  • Undisclosed conflicts of interest.
  • Reviewer bias or harmful competitive acts by reviewers.

Complaint Handling Policy:

  • If the journal receives a complaint that any contribution to the journal infringes intellectual property rights or contains material inaccuracies or illegal materials.
  • The investigation may include a request for the parties involved to substantiate their claims.
  • The Journal will make a good faith determination about the removal of the allegedly infringing material.
  • All investigations and decisions shall be documented by the Journal.
  • We strive to ensure that RPCFO is of the highest quality and error-free. However, we accept that occasionally errors may occur.

Editorial Complaints Policy

The Editor-in-Chief and staff of RPCFO will make every effort to correct the matter as soon as possible in the most appropriate manner, offering right of reply where necessary.
