Corrections, Retractions, and Expressions of Concern

KOLEKTIF: Jurnal Pendidikan, Pengajaran, dan Pembelajaran is committed to maintaining the accuracy and integrity of the scholarly record.

The journal may publish corrections, expressions of concern, or retractions when necessary.

1. Corrections

A correction may be issued when an error in a published article affects the accuracy, clarity, or completeness of the scholarly record but does not invalidate the overall findings or conclusions.

Corrections may address:

• Author information.
• Affiliations.
• Minor factual errors.
• Typographical or editorial errors.
• Errors in tables, figures, or metadata.
• Other issues that do not substantially undermine the article's conclusions.

Corrections will be linked to the original article whenever possible.

2. Retractions

A retraction may be considered when an article contains serious errors or misconduct that substantially undermines its reliability or integrity.

Reasons for retraction may include:

• Confirmed plagiarism.
• Fabrication or falsification of data.
• Serious methodological errors.
• Duplicate or redundant publication.
• Unethical research practices.
• Other significant violations of publication ethics.

A retraction notice will explain the reason for the retraction as clearly as possible.

The original article will normally remain accessible with a clear retraction notice, preserving the scholarly record.

3. Expressions of Concern

An expression of concern may be issued when there are credible concerns about an article but the investigation is incomplete or the available evidence is insufficient for a final decision.

The expression of concern will be linked to the article.

4. Requests for Corrections or Retractions

Authors, readers, institutions, or other relevant parties may submit concerns regarding published articles to the editorial office.

The journal will assess the evidence and determine the appropriate action.

5. Editorial Independence

Decisions regarding corrections, expressions of concern, and retractions are made by the editorial team based on scholarly and ethical considerations.
