Corrections and Retractions

Corrections, Retractions, and Withdrawal

Fakta: Jurnal Pendidikan Agama Islam maintains the integrity of the scholarly record. Published articles are not altered or removed silently; every change is made openly and linked to the original article.

Correction

When a published article contains an error that affects its accuracy or the published record (for example, in data, author names, affiliations, or funding) but does not invalidate its conclusions, a correction notice is published and linked to the article. The corrected version and the notice are both kept, and the DOI metadata is updated.

Expression of concern

When there is credible evidence of a problem but an investigation is not yet complete, the editor may publish an expression of concern linked to the article.

Retraction

An article is retracted when its findings are unreliable because of misconduct or major error, or when it involves plagiarism, duplicate publication, or a serious ethical violation. A retraction notice stating the reason is published; the article remains online, clearly marked as "Retracted", and its DOI metadata is updated. Retraction follows the COPE retraction guidelines.

Removal

Removal of an article is limited to exceptional legal cases, such as defamation or a serious risk to personal privacy. The bibliographic information remains online with a notice explaining the removal.

Withdrawal of a manuscript by authors

Authors may withdraw a manuscript before peer review begins by writing to the editor with a reason. Withdrawal after review has started, or after acceptance, is allowed only with a justified reason approved by the Editor-in-Chief. A request to withdraw a published article is handled as a retraction.
