Principles and Editorial Commitment

JSPS recognizes the importance of preserving the accuracy and completeness of scholarly publications for researchers, institutions, and academic archives. Corrections, clarifications, retractions, and editorial notices are implemented according to strict ethical standards and in accordance with the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Any editorial action involving corrections or retractions is conducted carefully, transparently, and only under exceptional circumstances to preserve academic integrity and public trust in scholarly communication.

Article Retraction

Articles may be retracted when substantial problems are identified that invalidate the reliability, integrity, or ethical legitimacy of the publication. Retractions are intended to correct the scholarly record and inform readers of serious issues associated with published content. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Articles may be retracted if:
  • Major scientific errors invalidate the conclusions of the article.
  • Findings are unreliable due to misconduct, fabrication, falsification, or significant methodological errors.
  • The article constitutes duplicate or redundant publication.
  • Ethical violations such as plagiarism or inappropriate authorship are identified.

Retraction Procedure

  1. Potential cases requiring retraction are reported to the editorial board.
  2. The editorial team conducts an investigation following COPE flowcharts and ethical guidelines.
  3. Authors are provided the opportunity to respond and clarify the concerns raised.
  4. The editorial board evaluates all available evidence and expert recommendations.
  5. If retraction is confirmed, an official retraction notice is published and linked permanently to the original article.

Article Correction

JSPS may issue corrections when limited errors are identified that do not invalidate the overall reliability or scientific contribution of the publication. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Corrections may include:
  • Publisher Correction (Erratum) — corrections of publishing or production errors.
  • Author Correction (Corrigendum) — corrections of errors made by the author(s).
  • Addendum — additional information or clarification related to the original publication.

Article Removal

In extremely limited circumstances, published articles may be removed from the journal platform when legally required or when publication may cause serious harm.

Article removal may occur in cases involving defamation, legal violations, court orders, copyright infringement, or significant public health risks. In such cases, article metadata will remain accessible while the article text is replaced with a removal notice. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

Article Replacement

In rare situations where a published article may present serious risks if relied upon, authors may request retraction and replacement with a corrected version.

Replacement articles will be clearly identified, and a transparent publication history linking both versions will be maintained to preserve the integrity of the scholarly record. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

Through the implementation of this Retraction & Correction Policy, Journal of Schooling and Pesantren Studies (JSPS) remains committed to safeguarding academic honesty, preserving publication integrity, and ensuring responsible scholarly communication in international educational research. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
