Corrections, Expressions of Concern, and Retractions

Jurnal Ilmiah Pertanian (JIP) maintains the accuracy and integrity of the published scholarly record through transparent post-publication notices, guided by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

1. Corrections

A correction (erratum or corrigendum) may be issued when a material error requires amendment but does not invalidate the article’s main findings. The notice identifies the original article and DOI, explains the change, and links to the corrected record. Corrections are dated and remain publicly accessible.

2. Expressions of Concern

An expression of concern may be issued when credible and potentially serious concerns about an article remain unresolved and readers should be alerted while further examination is undertaken. The notice will be updated or followed by an appropriate outcome when warranted.

3. Retractions

Retraction may be appropriate when findings are unreliable because of serious error or misconduct, research ethics violations invalidate the study, or substantial redundant publication or plagiarism compromises the record. A clearly labelled, freely accessible retraction notice will explain the grounds for retraction and be linked to the original publication.

4. Scholarly Record and DOI Preservation

Retracted content will normally remain accessible with a prominent retraction label. The DOI and permanent bibliographic record should be preserved. Removal is reserved for exceptional legal, privacy, or safety circumstances, with a public notice retained where feasible.

5. Editorial Procedure

The editorial team reviews the available evidence, offers authors a reasonable opportunity to respond, may consult independent experts or institutions, manages competing interests, and documents the final decision. Routine administrative changes, such as adding final volume, issue, or page details to an Article in Press, are not retractions and do not require a new DOI.
