Retraction & Correction

MANAGIERE: Journal of Islamic Educational Management, published by Universitas Islam Negeri Kiai Haji Achmad Siddiq Jember, is committed to maintaining the accuracy, transparency, and integrity of the scholarly record.

Published articles may require correction, an expression of concern, retraction, or, in exceptional circumstances, removal or replacement. Editorial action is proportionate to the evidence and intended to protect the scholarly record. The journal draws on applicable Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidance when assessing these cases.

Reporting Concerns

Authors, readers, reviewers, and institutions may report concerns about published articles to jurnal.managiere@gmail.com.

Reports should identify the article title and DOI or URL, explain the concern, and provide supporting evidence where available. Authors must notify the editorial office promptly when they discover a significant error in their published work.

Assessment and Investigation

The editorial team will:

Assess the concern and available evidence.
Request explanations and relevant documentation from the authors.
Seek independent expert advice or contact relevant institutions where necessary.
Determine appropriate action and communicate the decision to affected parties.

An editor without a conflict of interest will oversee the assessment. Authors will have an opportunity to respond, but failure to respond does not prevent necessary editorial action.

Article Correction

A correction may be issued when an error affects the accuracy or interpretation of an article but does not invalidate its principal findings or conclusions.

Corrections may address errors in data presentation, calculations, text, references, author information, funding statements, or other relevant declarations.

The journal distinguishes:

Erratum: A correction of an error introduced during publication.
Corrigendum: A correction of an error originating in the authors’ work.
Addendum: Additional information or clarification that supplements the published article.

Substantive corrections are published as dated notices explaining what changed and why. Notices are linked to the original article, and the article is clearly marked where appropriate. Significant changes are not made silently.

Requests to change authorship must include an explanation and agreement from all affected authors. An authorship dispute alone does not normally justify retraction when the findings remain reliable.

Expression of Concern

The journal may publish an expression of concern when a substantial question about an article’s reliability or ethical integrity remains unresolved, particularly when an investigation is delayed or available evidence is inconclusive.

The notice will explain the concern without presenting unproven allegations as established facts. It will be linked to the article and updated or superseded when the investigation reaches an outcome.

Article Retraction

Retraction may be appropriate when:

Findings are unreliable because of fabrication, falsification, substantial analytical or methodological error, or other causes.
Plagiarism or unjustified redundant publication is established.
Serious research ethics violations undermine the work.
Manipulation of peer review or other publication processes compromises confidence in the article.
Other substantiated violations make continued publication without a retraction misleading.

Retraction may result from misconduct or honest error. The notice should distinguish between these circumstances where the evidence permits.

Retraction Notices and Article Availability

Retraction notices will:

Identify the article and link to its DOI or publication page.
State who is retracting the article.
Explain the reasons in clear, factual language.
Be dated, clearly labelled, and freely accessible.

The original article will normally remain available, prominently marked as retracted, with a link to the notice. Retraction notices remain part of the permanent scholarly record.

Authors’ agreement is sought where appropriate, but a necessary retraction does not depend on unanimous author consent.

Article Removal

Full-text removal is reserved for exceptional circumstances, such as a legal requirement, a substantiated infringement of legal rights, disclosure of seriously sensitive personal information, or a serious risk arising from continued availability.

Where legally permissible, bibliographic metadata and a notice explaining the removal will remain accessible. Removal is not used as a routine substitute for correction or retraction.

Article Replacement

A corrected replacement may be considered when substantial honest errors can be resolved and the corrected work remains suitable for publication.

Replacement requires editorial approval and may require further independent peer review. The original article’s status, the reasons for replacement, and the relationship between versions must be clearly documented. Replacement must not conceal the original error or remove the publication history.

Editorial Responsibility and Appeals

The editorial team determines corrections, expressions of concern, retractions, removals, and replacements under the journal’s Publication Ethics policy.

Authors may request action or appeal a decision by providing a reasoned explanation and supporting evidence. Appeals are assessed by an editor without a conflict of interest. An appeal does not automatically suspend an action necessary to protect the scholarly record.

Policy Review

The journal reviews this policy periodically to maintain consistency with its editorial procedures and developments in publication ethics.
