Correction and Retraction Policy

Jurnal Manageable (e-ISSN: 2830-1870), published by PT Kimshafi Alung Cipta (Alungcipta), is committed to maintaining the integrity, accuracy, reliability, and transparency of scholarly publications in management, business, entrepreneurship, organizational studies, and related disciplines.

The journal implements a correction and retraction policy to ensure that published articles remain scientifically reliable and comply with recognized publication ethics standards. This policy is informed by the principles and recommendations of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and applies to all articles published in Jurnal Manageable.

1. Article Corrections

Corrections are issued when errors are identified in a published article that can be rectified without fundamentally compromising the validity, principal findings, or conclusions of the research.

Such errors may include:

Typographical, formatting, or production errors that materially affect the interpretation of published information.
Incorrect or incomplete author information, institutional affiliations, or other publication metadata.
Inaccuracies in tables, figures, references, or specific data that do not invalidate the main research findings.
Unintentional omissions or inaccuracies requiring clarification to maintain the accuracy of the scholarly record.

Correction requests may be submitted by authors, editors, readers, or other parties possessing relevant information.

The editorial team will evaluate each request based on the available evidence and determine whether a formal correction is necessary.

When a correction is approved, Jurnal Manageable will publish an official correction notice clearly identifying the affected article, describing the errors, and explaining the corrections made.

The original article will remain accessible, with a clear notice or link connecting it to the published correction. Any updates to the article will be transparently documented.

2. Article Retractions

A retraction may be issued when substantial evidence indicates that a published article contains serious errors, research misconduct, or ethical violations that significantly undermine the reliability or integrity of its findings.

Grounds for retraction may include, but are not limited to:

Plagiarism: Substantial unauthorized reproduction or misappropriation of another person's scholarly work without appropriate attribution.
Data Fabrication or Falsification: The creation, manipulation, or misrepresentation of research data, statistical analyses, or findings.
Unreliable Research Findings: Fundamental methodological, analytical, or reporting errors that render the principal findings or conclusions unreliable.
Duplicate or Redundant Publication: Publication of substantially identical research findings in another journal without appropriate disclosure or legitimate justification.
Serious Research Ethics Violations: Proven violations involving research participants, data collection, informed consent, confidentiality, or other ethical requirements that substantially compromise the integrity of the article.
Copyright Infringement: Serious violations of intellectual property rights or unauthorized use of copyrighted material.
Other Serious Publication Misconduct: Actions that materially compromise the validity, credibility, or ethical acceptability of the published work.

Retraction decisions are made by the Editor-in-Chief, in consultation with the editorial team, following a fair and evidence-based assessment.

Where necessary, the journal may request clarification from the authors, consult relevant institutions, or seek additional evidence before reaching a decision.

Authors and other relevant parties will be given a reasonable opportunity to respond to the concerns raised.

3. Investigation and Editorial Procedures

All reports concerning potential errors, ethical violations, or publication misconduct will be handled objectively, fairly, and confidentially to the extent reasonably possible.

The editorial process generally includes the following stages:

Receiving Reports: Concerns may be submitted by authors, reviewers, editors, readers, institutions, or other relevant parties.
Preliminary Assessment: The editorial team evaluates the nature of the concern and determines whether further investigation is necessary.
Evidence Verification: Relevant manuscripts, research records, published materials, and supporting documentation are examined.
Author Clarification: Authors may be contacted and given an opportunity to provide explanations or supporting evidence.
Editorial Evaluation: The Editor-in-Chief and editorial team determine the appropriate corrective action based on the available evidence.
Editorial Decision: Actions may include no further action, publication of a correction, issuance of an expression of concern, or article retraction.
Public Notification: When corrective action is required, an official notice is published and appropriately linked to the affected article.

If an investigation remains unresolved but credible concerns exist regarding the reliability or integrity of a published article, the journal may issue an Expression of Concern to inform readers while further clarification is pursued.

Editorial decisions will be guided by the seriousness of the issue, the reliability of the evidence, and the need to protect the scholarly record.

4. Accessibility and Preservation of the Publication Record

Jurnal Manageable recognizes that transparency and the preservation of the scholarly record are essential components of responsible academic publishing.

Retracted articles will generally remain accessible through the journal's website but will be prominently identified as RETRACTED.

A formal retraction notice will:

Clearly identify the affected article, including its title, authors, and publication details.
Explain the reason for the retraction in an objective and transparent manner.
Identify the party initiating the retraction where appropriate.
Provide a direct link to the original article.
Be freely accessible to readers.
Avoid disclosing confidential or sensitive information that is not necessary to explain the editorial action.

The original article and its associated metadata should be appropriately marked to prevent readers from mistakenly treating the retracted findings as valid scientific evidence.

For corrected articles, the original publication will remain accessible, and the correction notice will be linked to the relevant article. Changes will be documented to maintain transparency and traceability.

Removal of an article from the journal's website will be considered only under exceptional circumstances, such as legal requirements, serious privacy violations, or other compelling reasons that make continued public availability inappropriate.
