Retraction, Withdrawal and Correction Policy

Retraction

The papers published in the Jurnal Profesi Medika: Jurnal Kedokteran dan Kesehatan will be considered retracted in the publication if :

1. They have clear evidence that the findings are unreliable, either as a result of misconduct (e.g., data fabrication) or honest error (e.g., miscalculation or experimental error)
2. The findings have previously been published elsewhere without proper crossreferencing, permission, or justification (i.e., cases of redundant publication)
3. It constitutes plagiarism
4. It reports unethical research.

The retraction mechanism follows the Retraction Guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), which can be accessed at https://publicationethics.org/files/retraction%20guidelines.pdf.

Withdrawal

The author is not allowed to withdraw submitted manuscripts because the withdrawal is a waste of valuable resources that editors and referees spent a great deal of time processing submitted manuscripts and works invested by the publisher.

Suppose the author still requests withdrawal of their manuscript when it is still in the peer-review process. In that case, the author will be confirmed for our editor, and you will be sent your information about withdrawal.

Correction

Jurnal Profesi Medika: Jurnal Kedokteran dan Kesehatan should consider issuing a correction if:

• A small part of an otherwise reliable publication reports flawed data or proves misleading, mainly if this results from honest error.
• The Authors list needs to be corrected (e.g., a contributor has been omitted, or someone who does not meet authorship criteria has been included).

Corrections to peer-reviewed content fall into one of three categories:

• Publisher correction (erratum): to notify readers of a critical error made by journal staff (usually a production error) that negatively impacts the publication record, the scientific integrity of the article, or the reputation of the authors of the journal.
• Author correction (corrigendum): to notify readers of a critical error made by the authors that negatively impact the publication record, the scientific integrity of the article, or the reputation of the authors or the journal.
• Addendum: an addition to the article by its authors to explain inconsistencies, expand the existing work, or otherwise explain or update the information in the main work.

The Editor-in-Chief decides whether a correction should be issued, sometimes with advice from reviewers or editorial board members. Handling editors will contact the paper's authors concerned with a request for clarification—however, the final decision about whether a correction is required and which type rests with the Editor-in-Chief.
