Dear Dr. Pathak and Dr. Rani,

This is to formally notify you that the Editorial Board of the Indian Journal of Health, Sexuality & Culture (IJHSC) has resolved to retract your article entitled “Trauma and Its Impact on Menstrual Health: Psychological Insights from Women in Michamari, Assam,” published in Volume 11, Issue 01 (2025).

The decision to retract was made after a post-publication review and verification procedure, during which the editorial team determined that several references cited in your article were unverifiable and could not be found in any reputable academic or public databases. Upon further investigation, it was confirmed that a substantial number of the references provided were fabricated, representing a violation of publication ethics and academic integrity.

In accordance with the guidelines established by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and the journal’s ethical policy, the editorial board regards this as a significant instance of research malfeasance. Consequently, the manuscript is being officially retracted from both the online and print editions of the journal. A retraction notice will be perpetually posted on the journal's website to ensure transparency and preserve scholarly integrity.

The Indian Journal of Health, Sexuality & Culture continues to uphold the integrity of the scientific record and to foster ethical research standards. We strongly recommend that all authors adhere to strict standards of citation accuracy and scholarly accountability in their future submissions. Sincerely,

Dr. S. K. Kar
