Retraction and Correction Policy

Article Retraction Policy

Business UHO: Jurnal Administrasi Bisnis is committed to maintaining the integrity of the academic record and public scientific literature. On rare occasions, it may be necessary to retract a published article to protect the quality, validity, and trustworthiness of scholarly publishing in business administration.

Grounds for Retraction An article may be retracted under the following circumstances:

  • Unreliable Findings: Clear evidence that the findings or empirical data are unreliable, whether due to major scientific errors (e.g., honest miscalculations or analytical flaws) or intentional academic misconduct (e.g., data fabrication or falsification).

  • Redundant/Duplicate Publication: The findings, data, or text have previously been published elsewhere without proper cross-referencing, justification, or editorial permission.

  • Plagiarism & Ethical Violations: Severe plagiarism issues, self-plagiarism, or inappropriate authorship assignments (e.g., ghost or gift authorship).

Retraction ProcedureBusiness UHO: Jurnal Administrasi Bisnis follows the COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) Retraction Guidelines to process all cases:

  • Reporting: Any potential retraction case must be formally submitted to the Managing Editor or Editor-in-Chief.

  • Investigation: The Editorial Board conducts an objective evaluation, requesting clarifications from the corresponding author based on COPE flowcharts and standards.

  • Ethical Advisory Board Review: Findings are presented to the journal’s Editorial Advisory Board to ensure a fair, transparent, and consistent outcome.

  • Notification & Publication: If retraction is warranted, the decision is communicated to the authors and their affiliated institutions. A formal Retraction Notice will be published online and linked directly to the original article in the subsequent journal issue.

Note: Authors retaining copyright over their published work does not grant them an automatic right to retract an article after publication. The integrity of the scientific record remains paramount.

Article Correction Policy

Business UHO: Jurnal Administrasi Bisnis issues corrections when errors occur in a published article that affect its scientific accuracy, metadata, or authorship, without invalidating the core findings or overall conclusions of the paper.

Categories of Corrections

  • Publisher Correction (Erratum): Addresses significant errors introduced during the editing, typesetting, or production process by the publisher's staff that affect the scientific veracity or layout of the manuscript.

  • Author Correction (Corrigendum): Addresses honest errors made by the authors (e.g., mislabeled figures/tables, minor data errors, or omitted author affiliations) that impact scientific precision.

  • Addendum: Provides additional context, explanations, or updates submitted by the authors to expand or clarify specific sections of the published article.

Editorial Decision The final decision to issue a correction rests solely with the Editor-in-Chief, often informed by recommendations from Reviewers or Editorial Board members. All corrections are published formally as a distinct notice linked directly to the original PDF and HTML versions of the article.
