Correction and Retraction

 

Jurnal Tunas Pendidikan is committed to maintaining the integrity, accuracy, and completeness of the scholarly record of all published articles. Therefore, any changes to articles that have been published online must be made based on clear justification and in accordance with applicable policies. This policy is developed with reference to best practices in scholarly publishing, emphasizing transparency, accountability, and the credibility of academic publications.

 

Erratum (Correction Notice)

An erratum is an official notice issued to explain corrections to errors or inaccuracies in a published article. The notice provides a brief description of the identified error and clarifies whether the error affects the interpretation or conclusions of the article.

The corrected article remains available on the website of Jurnal Pengabdian Pendidikan Masyarakat, accompanied by an erratum notice directly linked to the relevant article. The notice is freely and openly accessible to all readers to ensure transparency in the correction process and maintain the accuracy of scholarly information.

 

Retraction (Article Withdrawal)

A retraction is an official notice indicating that an article can no longer be considered a reliable source of scholarly information. An article may be retracted when convincing evidence demonstrates that its findings or conclusions are unreliable. Such circumstances may include publication ethics violations, unintentional errors that significantly affect the reliability of the findings, duplicate publication without appropriate citation or adequate justification, violations of publication rights or permissions, plagiarism, or research conducted in violation of ethical principles.

To preserve transparency and the integrity of the scholarly record, retracted articles remain available on the journal’s website, accompanied by a retraction notice that is freely and openly accessible. The notice is directly linked to the relevant article so that readers can identify its publication status and understand the reasons for its retraction.

A retraction may be initiated by the authors if substantial scientific errors are identified. In addition, the editor or publisher may decide to retract an article based on the evaluation conducted and the available evidence. Every retraction notice must clearly state the reasons for the retraction and identify the party responsible for the decision. If the retraction decision is not agreed upon by all authors, this must be stated transparently.

In exceptional and highly specific circumstances, such as when a publication raises serious legal concerns, the publisher may consider redacting or removing the article’s content. Nevertheless, the article’s bibliographic information will be retained wherever possible to preserve traceability and the integrity of the scholarly record.

 

Publisher’s Note

A Publisher’s Note is an official notice issued by the publisher to inform readers of corrections made after an article has been published. This notice is primarily used when typographical or production errors attributable to the publisher are identified and affect the accuracy of the article’s metadata, such as the title, author names, or byline, or when errors significantly affect readers’ understanding of the article’s content.

If such errors require the manuscript to be replaced, the corrected version of the article will replace the previous version in accordance with the applicable editorial procedures. The Publisher’s Note is made freely and openly accessible to all readers as a demonstration of transparency in the publication correction process.

Minor errors that do not affect the accuracy of the article’s metadata, readers’ understanding, or the article’s scientific validity may be corrected at the publisher’s editorial discretion without requiring a separate notice, provided that the corrections comply with the applicable correction policy.

Any replacement of an article with a corrected version must be accompanied by a statement indicating the date on which the correction was made, ensuring that the changes can be clearly traced. An article may be replaced with a corrected version if the correction is requested within less than one year of its initial publication date. For articles published more than one year earlier, corrections will be documented through a Publisher’s Note without replacing the previously published version of the article.
