Research Misconduct: If there is clear evidence of data fabrication, data falsification, plagiarism, or other forms of research misconduct, the article may be retracted.

Significant Errors: If the article contains significant errors that significantly impact the overall validity or reliability of the findings, a retraction may be considered.

Ethical Concerns: If ethical issues, such as unethical research practices, conflicts of interest, or violations of human or animal rights, are discovered, the article may be retracted.

Initiating the Retraction Process:

Retraction Request: Anyone, including authors, readers, or other concerned parties, may submit a formal retraction request to the editor-in-chief or the editorial office. The request should provide detailed information regarding the reasons for the retraction and supporting evidence, if available.

Preliminary Assessment: Upon receiving a retraction request, the editor-in-chief will initiate a preliminary assessment to determine the validity and seriousness of the concerns raised. This may involve consulting relevant experts or the journal's editorial board.

Notification: If the preliminary assessment deems the concerns to be substantial, the corresponding author of the article under consideration will be notified and given an opportunity to respond to the allegations within a specified timeframe.

Investigation and Decision-Making:

Investigation: The editor-in-chief, in consultation with the editorial board and/or external experts, will conduct a thorough investigation into the allegations raised and assess the validity and credibility of the concerns.

Decision-Making: Based on the investigation findings, the editor-in-chief will make a decision regarding the retraction. The decision may include one of the following options:

No Retraction: If the concerns are found to be unsubstantiated, the article will remain published with appropriate clarification or corrections, if necessary.
Retraction: If the concerns are substantiated and meet the grounds for retraction as outlined in Section 1, the article will be formally retracted from the journal.

Retraction Process:

Retraction Statement: A formal retraction statement will be prepared, clearly stating the reasons for the retraction, providing references to any relevant evidence or investigations, and mentioning the article's identifying information (e.g., title, authors, publication date).

Publication: The retraction statement will be published in a prominent location, such as the journal's website and the online version of the article. It will be linked to the original article and any related content to ensure proper visibility and accessibility. The statement also appear at ANJANI (an integrity platform established by Indonesia government to report any violation of academic integrity.)

Post-Retraction Actions:

Corrections and Clarifications: If appropriate, corrections or clarifications may be issued for other articles or related materials that reference the retracted article, ensuring accuracy and transparency. Alterations to published articles that impact their interpretation and conclusions, but do not completely invalidate the article, will be addressed through a Correction. This Correction will be indexed and bidirectionally linked to the original article, at the discretion of the Editor(s) of Jurnal Ilmiah Kesehatan Sandi Husada.

Editorial Notes: The journal may consider publishing an editorial note discussing the retraction and its implications for the scientific community, as deemed necessary.
