CORRECTIONS, RETRACTIONS, AND WITHDRAWAL

AXIOM : Jurnal Pendidikan dan Matematika is committed to an accurate and reliable scholarly record and follows the COPE Retraction Guidelines. Published articles are the version of record: they are changed only through the procedures below, and every change is documented. Corrections and retractions protect the reliability of the literature; they are not penalties.

Corrections
A correction (erratum/corrigendum) is published when an error or omission does not undermine the main findings, for example in data, tables, figures, author names, affiliations, or declarations, including errors made by the journal. Corrections may be requested by authors, readers, reviewers, editors, or institutions. The notice is clearly labelled and linked to the article, the article links back to the notice, and the date is recorded. Minor typographical errors that do not affect meaning or bibliographic information may be fixed directly and are recorded by the editorial office. Authors should tell the editors promptly if they find a significant error in their published work.

Retractions
An article is retracted when its findings can no longer be relied upon. The editors consider retraction when there is clear evidence of:

  • unreliable findings, due to misconduct (such as fabrication or falsification) or serious honest error;
  • plagiarism (see our Plagiarism Policy) or redundant publication;
  • unethical research, or missing required ethical approval or consent;
  • undisclosed conflicts of interest (see our Conflict of Interest policy), authorship problems, or manipulated peer review that seriously affect reliability.

The Editor-in-Chief decides after assessing the evidence, in consultation with the editorial board. The authors are informed and given a reasonable opportunity to respond first. A retraction does not depend on the authors’ agreement, and authors may themselves request retraction of their work.

A retraction is published as a separate, freely accessible notice labelled “Retraction”, stating the article, who issued the retraction, the reasons, and the date, and linked to the article. The notice is factual and does not make unsupported accusations. Retracted articles are not deleted. They remain accessible, clearly marked as retracted, and their metadata (including the DOI record at Crossref) is updated where possible. Content is removed only in rare cases, such as a legal order, defamation, infringement of rights, or serious risk to participants’ privacy, and then a notice and the bibliographic information are kept.

Withdrawal of Manuscripts
Authors may withdraw a manuscript at any stage before publication, including when review is unreasonably delayed, by a request from the corresponding author on behalf of all authors to jurnalaxiom@uinsu.ac.id with the reason. The editors confirm the withdrawal in writing, and the same manuscript should not be submitted elsewhere until then. Withdrawal does not end an assessment already under way under our Research Misconduct Allegation procedure.

Raising a Concern
Please write to jurnalaxiom@uinsu.ac.id with the article details, a description of the error or concern, and supporting evidence. The editors assess the evidence, inform the authors and invite their response, decide, and record the decision and its reasons. Suspected misconduct is handled under our Research Misconduct Allegation procedure, and a retraction decision may be appealed as described there.
