Correction and Retraction

Abdimas Polsaka: Jurnal Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat is committed to maintaining the accuracy, transparency, and integrity of the scholarly record. The journal follows the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and internationally recognised publication ethics standards.

Corrections: Corrections will be published when errors are identified in published articles that affect their accuracy or interpretation but do not invalidate the main findings. Correction notices will be clearly identified, linked to the original articles, and made publicly accessible.

Retractions: Articles may be retracted when there is reliable evidence of serious errors, data fabrication, falsification, plagiarism, unethical research practices, or duplicate publication that undermines the reliability or integrity of the work.

Editorial Procedures: All concerns will be investigated fairly and objectively. Authors will be given an opportunity to respond before a final decision is made. Retraction notices will clearly state the reasons for retraction, remain permanently accessible, and be linked to the original articles. Retracted articles will remain available with clear retraction labels to preserve the scholarly record.

The journal may also issue an Expression of Concern when serious concerns arise but the available evidence is inconclusive or an investigation is ongoing. Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE)
