Retraction Watch | IJRAH
On May 19, the Integrated Journal for Research in Arts and Humanities (IJRAH) removed a review article by Robert Keith Head suggesting the theory of parental alienation is unsupported by research and fails “to meet basic validity requirements for psychological constructs”…. Head, a social worker and doctoral candidate at Capella University in Minneapolis, said he stands behind the work. The complaints against his paper consist of disputed scholarly interpretations, contested source counts and disagreements about how the literature should be characterized, none of which meet the COPE threshold for retraction, he told us.
