Article Updates and Versioning Policy
Revista Alergia México allows authors to revise, update, and post new versions of their articles. Each new version is added to the article’s version history. However, once published, individual versions cannot be altered or withdrawn and remain permanently accessible on the Revista Alergia México website.

The journal participates in the CrossMark initiative—a multi-publisher effort that provides a standard method for readers to locate the most current version of an article. By adhering to CrossMark’s policies, Revista Alergia México commits to maintaining the integrity of the scholarly record and notifying readers of any updates or changes to published content.

To preserve the academic record's accuracy and integrity, the following policies apply when published content must be corrected. These are based on best practices in academic publishing and library standards.

Correction of Articles
In traditional journals, corrections (or errata) are issued to inform readers of errors discovered after final publication. In contrast, Revista Alergia México follows a post-publication peer review model, where the publication is not considered “final” and authors can submit updated versions at any time.

Errors identified during or after peer review can be addressed by publishing new article versions. Peer review reports, which are part of the article’s record, may also highlight such errors. All corrections and changes between versions must be clearly summarized in the “Changes” section at the beginning of each new version.

Retraction Policy
Retraction is defined as the formal withdrawal or renunciation of previously published content. Authors have the right to request retraction as an expression of their autonomy and reflective decision-making. Retractions allow authors to publicly withdraw a work through the same channel in which it was originally disseminated.

Retraction and Withdrawal Procedure
To request a retraction or withdrawal of content from the journal—whether partial or complete—an author or a third party with a legitimate legal interest must submit a formal written request to the Editor. The request must include the rationale, supporting evidence, and in the case of an author, a retraction note for consideration.

Once received, the Editor will verify the documentation and, within 10 business days, present the case to the Editorial Board. The Board will deliberate and decide by a simple majority vote. If approved, the retraction will be processed and published within 30 business days.

Decisions are final and not subject to appeal. However, a new request may be submitted with additional or updated supporting evidence. Only authors or rights holders may initiate a retraction request.

If a retraction or withdrawal is approved, it will be published in the next available issue, provided it is still editorially feasible. Otherwise, it will appear in the subsequent edition. For retractions, the author's note will be published accordingly.

Expression of Concern
In exceptional cases, Revista Alergia México may publish an Expression of Concern linked to a specific article if there are significant doubts about the content but insufficient evidence to justify retraction. These situations may include:

• Inconclusive evidence of misconduct;

• Evidence suggesting problems with the article, but no institutional investigation is conducted;

• An investigation that lacks impartiality or is inconclusive.

Duplication Procedure
Duplication refers to the reproduction of published content in another medium (digital or otherwise). To duplicate any editorial material, the journal requires a clearly labeled notice identifying the duplicated nature of the content and distinguishing it from the original.

Applicants must complete a duplication request form and submit it to the journal at revista@revistaalergia.mx. This form must be completed by the responsible party, even when duplication is initiated by the journal itself.

Errata Procedure
Errata are issued to correct errors found in a published article. If a section of an article contains an error, it may be corrected later via an editorial note or erratum.

Any author, staff member, or third party who identifies a significant error must notify the Editorial Board in writing, specifying the nature of the issue. Once verified, the correction will be published as an erratum on one of the opening pages of the next issue, provided it is still editorially feasible; otherwise, it will be included in a subsequent issue.
