Article Retraction & Withdrawal

It is generally a principle of scholarly communication that the journal editor or proceedings is solely and independently responsible for deciding which submitted articles may be published. In making this decision, the editor is guided by the journal’s editorial board policies and constrained by legal requirements related to slander, copyright infringement, and plagiarism. The result of this principle is the significance of scientific archives as permanent historical records of scholarly transactions. Published articles should remain intact, accurate, and unaltered as much as possible. However, circumstances may arise where an article must be retracted or even removed. Such actions must not be taken lightly and can only occur under extraordinary circumstances. In all cases, our archives at the Journal of Community Development will retain all versions of articles, including those that were recalled or deleted. This policy has been designed to address this issue and to reflect best practices in the academic and library communities. As standards evolve and change, we will revisit this concern and welcome input from the library and academic community. We believe this issue requires an international standard and will actively advocate for the establishment of such a standard and best practices that could be adopted by the information and publishing industries.

Article Retraction

Articles may be retracted due to scientific errors, including issues such as multiple submissions, false authorship claims, plagiarism, or fraudulent use of data. Before an article can be withdrawn, a signed statement from the author must be submitted. Additionally, the consent of all authors is required before a retraction can be published. The notification of retraction will be published, and a link to the original article will be clearly marked as cancelled. This notification will include the reasons for the withdrawal and the identity of the individual who retracted the article. The original article will remain accessible in both the online and print versions of the journal but will be clearly identified as a retracted article. Retractions will also be listed on the content page.

Article Withdrawal

Article withdrawal is strongly discouraged and is only used in exceptional circumstances for an early version of an article that has been accepted for publication but has not yet been officially published, although it may have already appeared online. The version may contain errors, may have been posted inadvertently twice, or may violate journal publishing ethics guidelines (e.g., multiple submissions, false claims about authorship, plagiarism, improper use of data, etc.). In such situations, especially in cases of legal or ethical violations or false or inaccurate data that could pose a risk of harm if used, it may be necessary to withdraw the article's initial version from our electronic platform. Withdrawal means that the article's content (both HTML and PDF versions) is removed and replaced with HTML and PDF pages stating that the article has been withdrawn in accordance with the Indonesian Journal Publisher’s article withdrawal policy, along with a link to the policy. Additionally, if the author holds copyright for the article, it does not grant them the right to withdraw it after publication. The integrity of published scientific records is paramount, and this policy on revocation and withdrawal still applies in such cases.

Article Removal

In an extremely limited number of cases, a published article may need to be removed from our online platform. This will only occur if the article is clearly defamatory, violates another person’s legal rights, is subject to a court order, or poses a serious health risk if acted upon. In such circumstances, while the metadata (i.e., title and author information) of the article will be retained, the text will be replaced with a screen indicating that the article has been removed for legal reasons.

Article Replacement

If the article could pose a serious health risk if acted upon, the author of the original paper may choose to recall the document and replace it with a corrected version. In these cases, the removal procedure will include a retraction notification that contains a revised link and a record of the document's history.
