Correction and Retraction

Correction and Retraction Policy

Syntax Imperatif: Jurnal Ilmu Pendidikan dan Sosial is committed to maintaining the integrity and completeness of the scholarly record. Changes to articles after online publication may only occur under the following circumstances, in accordance with best practices in academic publishing.

Retraction

A retraction will be issued if an article is found to violate the journal’s policies, contains plagiarism, or presents significant ethical concerns.

To preserve the integrity of the scientific record, retracted articles will not be removed from the journal’s website. Instead, a clearly marked retraction notice will be published, freely accessible to all readers, and linked to the original article.

Retractions may be initiated by:

• The authors, if they discover substantial scientific errors
• The Editor or Publisher, if ethical violations or publication misconduct is identified

The retraction notice will include the reason for retraction and specify who initiated the action. If a retraction is made without the unanimous consent of all authors, this will be clearly stated. In rare and extreme cases involving legal violations, the Publisher reserves the right to remove or modify an article. However, bibliographic information will be retained to ensure a transparent scientific record.

Publisher’s Note (Correction)

A Publisher’s Note will be issued if a production error or typo—caused by the Publisher—affects:

• The metadata of the article (e.g., title, author name, byline), or
• The reader's ability to accurately interpret the article content

In such cases, the original article will be replaced with a corrected version, and a Publisher’s Note will be added. This correction will be freely available to all readers.

Minor errors that do not impact the scientific accuracy, metadata, or reader comprehension will be corrected at the discretion of the Publisher.

Note: Articles can only be replaced with corrected versions within one week of publication. After that, corrections will be handled through errata or Publisher’s Notes.
