Correction and Retraction Policy

 

Akhasia: Jurnal Akuntansi Syariah • STEI Permata Bojonegoro • Aligned with COPE Guidelines

Akhasia: Jurnal Akuntansi Syariah, published by STEI Permata Bojonegoro in official collaboration with CV Jeoja Word Indonesia, is committed to preserving the permanent integrity and accuracy of the scholarly record. When verifiable honest errors, omissions, or ethical breaches occur in published articles, the journal strictly applies the guidelines and flowcharts established by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) to determine appropriate corrective action.

Categories of Post-Publication Amendments

1. Corrigendum (Author Correction)

Issued when a significant, honest error made by the author(s) is identified (e.g., non-fatal numerical errors, mislabeled statistical columns, omitted funding acknowledgments, or author affiliation typos) that does not alter the fundamental empirical conclusions of the paper.

Procedure: A formal Corrigendum notice is assigned its own Crossref DOI, published in the subsequent issue, and bidirectionally linked with the original article online.

2. Erratum (Publisher Error)

Issued to rectify substantial production, typesetting, or layout mistakes introduced by the journal team during file processing (e.g., corrupted equations, misaligned financial data tables, or omitted text blocks).

Procedure: A formal Erratum note is issued, and the corrected electronic PDF will replace the defective version with a clear revision footnote.

3. Retraction (Post-Publication Article Withdrawal)

In strict accordance with COPE Retraction Guidelines, a published article will be formally retracted if the findings are proven fundamentally flawed, unreliable, or unethical. Valid grounds for retraction include:

  • Clear evidence of empirical data fabrication, manipulation of financial regression models, or fictitious research findings.
  • Severe plagiarism, redundant/duplicate publication, or copyright infringement.
  • Severe ethical misconduct (e.g., unauthorized disclosure of confidential corporate banking records or fake respondents).
Retraction Protocol: The article is never completely erased from the website. Instead, the published PDF is permanently watermarked with "RETRACTED" on every page, and a public Retraction Notice outlining the detailed factual findings is permanently posted online.

Exceptional Article Removal

Complete removal of content from the journal database is an extraordinary measure reserved solely for cases where a direct court order mandates removal, the content is severely defamatory, or it infringes trade secrets and legal confidentiality. In such circumstances, metadata (title and authors) will remain visible, accompanied by a formal statement stating the item has been removed for legal reasons.

How to Report Errors or Request Inquiries

Authors seeking to rectify their work, or academic institutions identifying substantial errors in published articles, should contact the editorial team with supporting documentary proof:
