Before and after the publication, authors have the right to ask for changes to be made or to have their names removed from the work. The case will be discussed by the editor-in-chief with his or her publishing contact, and the two of them will come to a decision regarding what, if any, action is required. The IJSSER is going to put the COPE follow chart into practice in order to handle these requests and complaints.
