Article Withdrawal

Article withdrawal applies only to Articles in Press, which are early versions of articles that sometimes contain errors or may have been inadvertently submitted more than once. In rarer cases, these articles may violate professional ethical standards, such as multiple submissions, false authorship claims, plagiarism, fraudulent data use, or similar misconduct.

Articles in Press (articles accepted for publication but not yet formally published with complete volume, issue, or page numbers) that contain errors, are found to be accidental duplicates of other published works, or violate the journal’s publishing ethics guidelines as determined by the editors (including multiple submissions, false authorship claims, plagiarism, fraudulent data use, etc.) may be withdrawn from Jurnal Manajemen dan Inovasi (MANOVA).

Withdrawal means that the article content (HTML and PDF) is removed and replaced with a notice stating that the article has been withdrawn in accordance with the Jurnal Manajemen dan Inovasi (MANOVA) Policy on Article in Press Withdrawal, with a link to the current policy document.

Article Retraction

Article retraction is applied when serious breaches of professional ethics occur, such as multiple submissions, false authorship claims, plagiarism, fraudulent data, or similar violations. Retraction can also be used to correct significant errors post-publication.

Retraction by authors or editors, often upon advice from the scholarly community, is a long-established practice governed by internationally recognized standards developed by scholarly organizations and libraries. The best practices adopted for article retraction include:

  • Publishing a retraction notice titled “Retraction: [article title]” signed by the authors and/or the editor in a subsequent paginated issue of the journal and listed in the contents.

  • Providing a link in the electronic version to the original article.

  • Preceding the online article with a screen displaying the retraction notice, which is the landing page for the link; readers may then proceed to the original article.

  • Retaining the original article unchanged except for a watermark on each PDF page indicating that it is “retracted.”

  • Removing the HTML version of the article from public access.

Article Removal Due to Legal Reasons

In very limited cases, an article may need to be removed entirely from the online database. This occurs only when the article is clearly defamatory, infringes upon legal rights, is subject to a court order, or could pose a serious health risk if acted upon.

In such cases, the metadata (title and authors) will remain visible, but the full text will be replaced with a notice stating the article has been removed due to legal reasons.

Article Replacement

When an article, if acted upon, could cause serious health risks, the original authors may wish to retract the flawed article and replace it with a corrected version.

The process follows the standard retraction procedures, but the retraction notice will also include a link to the corrected republished article and document the history of changes.
