Withdrawal and Retraction Policy

                                               ARTICLE WITHDRAWAL AND RETRACTION OF JURNAL REKONSTRUKSI DAN ESTETIK

Article Withdrawal

Authors are encouraged to consider their submissions carefully to ensure accuracy and compliance with publishing standards. Once a manuscript is submitted, withdrawals are only permitted before the review process begins. Pull requests made during or after the review process cannot be granted, as this has the potential to misuse editorial resources and reviewer efforts. Authors who insist on withdrawing their manuscript during peer review will have their names blacklisted for future submission to the journal. This step ensures accountability and upholds the integrity of the application process. This policy aims to maintain fairness and transparency in the publication process while adhering to journal standards, as well as ensuring that the resources invested by editors and reviewers are respected.

Article Retraction

The journal upholds values of excellence and morality in safeguarding the integrity of scholarly content. Changes to published articles are allowed under specific circumstances to comply with academic publishing norms and maintain the credibility of published work.

Infringements of professional and ethical codes, such as multiple submissions, bogus claims of authorship, plagiarism, or fraudulent use of data, may result in the retraction of an article. Retraction serves to inform the academic community about flawed results or misconduct and aims to correct errors in submission or publication following a thorough investigation by Jurnal Rekonstruksi dan Estetik. This process follows standards developed by scholarly bodies, emphasizing best practices in article retraction.

Retraction may occur in the following situations:

  1. Unreliable Findings: Clear evidence of unreliable findings due to misconduct (such as data fabrication) or genuine errors (such as miscalculations or experimental mistakes).
  2. Ethical Violations: Multiple submissions, duplicate publications, or other unethical research practices.
  3. Redundant Publication: Previously published findings without appropriate cross-referencing, permission, or justification.
  4. Plagiarism: Instances where substantial portions of the work have been copied without proper attribution.
  5. Fraudulent Authorship or Data Misuse: Evidence of dishonest authorship attribution or misuse of data.

When an article is retracted, Jurnal Rekonstruksi dan Estetik will take the following actions:

  • Add a "retracted" watermark to the published version of the article.
  • Issue a separate retraction statement titled 'Retraction: [article title],' linked to the retracted article on Jurnal Rekonstruksi dan Estetik Online.
  • Include the retraction statement in the online issue of the journal.

Article Removal
