Retraction Policy

Yuridis is committed to maintaining the integrity and reliability of the scholarly legal literature. In cases where published articles are found to contain serious errors, ethical violations, or research misconduct, Yuridis will take appropriate corrective action, including retraction, in accordance with the guidelines established by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

1. Grounds for Retraction

An article may be retracted if one or more of the following conditions are confirmed:

  • Fabrication or falsification of data, research results, or citations.
  • Plagiarism or self-plagiarism that substantially compromises the originality of the work.
  • Duplicate or redundant publication of the same manuscript in another journal without proper disclosure.
  • Undisclosed conflicts of interest that materially affect the research findings or conclusions.
  • Authorship disputes that fundamentally undermine the validity of the publication.
  • Serious errors in methodology, data analysis, or legal reasoning that invalidate the article's findings and cannot be resolved through a correction or erratum.
  • Violations of research ethics, including failure to obtain required permissions or approvals.

2. Retraction Process

A retraction may be initiated by:

  • The author(s) of the article.
  • The Editorial Board of Yuridis.
  • Readers, institutions, or third parties who submit a formal and documented complaint to the editorial team.

Upon receiving a retraction request or identifying a potential ground for retraction, the Editorial Board will:

  1. Conduct a thorough and impartial investigation of the reported concern.
  2. Notify the corresponding author and provide an opportunity to respond before any decision is made.
  3. Consult relevant parties, including reviewers or institutional representatives, where necessary.
  4. Issue a final editorial decision based on the findings of the investigation.

3. Retraction Notice

If retraction is confirmed, Yuridis will:

  • Publish a formal Retraction Notice that is freely accessible to all readers.
  • Clearly label the retracted article with the word "RETRACTED" on all versions of the article, including the PDF and HTML formats, along with the date of retraction and the reason for retraction.
  • Retain the original article online to preserve the integrity of the scholarly record, while ensuring the retraction is clearly indicated to prevent inadvertent use.
  • Link the Retraction Notice directly to the original article and vice versa to ensure full transparency.

4. Corrections and Expressions of Concern

Not all errors warrant full retraction. Yuridis distinguishes between the following corrective actions:

  • Erratum: A correction issued by the Editorial Board to address minor errors introduced during the editorial or production process that do not affect the article's findings or conclusions.
  • Corrigendum: A correction issued by the author(s) to address errors made during the research or writing process that do not invalidate the overall findings.
  • Expression of Concern: A notice issued by the Editorial Board when a serious concern has been raised about an article but the investigation is ongoing or inconclusive.

5. Responsibilities of All Parties

  • Authors must immediately notify the Editorial Board if they discover a significant error or ethical concern in their published work.
  • Editors must handle all retraction concerns promptly, impartially, and in strict confidence until a final decision is reached.
  • Readers and Institutions may submit concerns regarding published articles to the editorial team at yuridis@upnvj.ac.id.

6. Appeals

Authors who disagree with a retraction decision may submit a formal written appeal to the Editorial Board within 30 days of receiving the retraction notice. The appeal must include clear evidence and a detailed justification for reconsideration. The Editorial Board's decision following an appeal is final.

This policy is established in accordance with the COPE Retraction Guidelines and will be reviewed periodically to reflect developments in publication ethics standards.
