Correction, Retraction & Withdrawal

INOTEKS keeps the scholarly record accurate. Published articles are never silently altered or removed; changes are made through linked, public notices.

NoticeWhen it is used
Correction (erratum / corrigendum)An error that does not change the main findings, made by the journal (erratum) or the authors (corrigendum).
Expression of concernSerious doubts exist about the work, but evidence is inconclusive or an investigation is ongoing.
RetractionFindings are unreliable, or there is plagiarism, duplicate publication, fabricated data, compromised peer review, or unethical research.
WithdrawalBefore acceptance, authors may withdraw a manuscript by writing to the editor. After acceptance, withdrawal requires a compelling reason and editor approval. Published articles cannot be withdrawn, only corrected or retracted.

Retracted articles remain online, clearly watermarked "Retracted", with a linked retraction notice explaining the reason. Decisions follow the COPE Retraction Guidelines. To report a possible error, write to inotek@uny.ac.id.
