Correction and Retraction
ETERNAL: English Teaching Journal maintains the integrity of the scholarly record. Published articles are not altered silently; any change after publication is made transparently through the notices below, following COPE Retraction Guidelines.
| Notice | When it is used |
|---|---|
| Erratum | To correct a significant error introduced by the journal during production (e.g., typesetting, author name, affiliation). |
| Corrigendum | To correct a significant error made by the authors that affects the publication record or interpretation, but does not invalidate the main findings. |
| Expression of Concern | Issued when there is inconclusive evidence of misconduct or an investigation is ongoing. |
| Retraction | When findings are unreliable (due to misconduct or honest error), or the article involves plagiarism, duplicate publication, unethical research, or infringement of copyright. |
Procedure
- Requests for correction or retraction may come from the authors, readers, reviewers, or editors, sent to eternalpbi@upgris.ac.id.
- The editor investigates and, where relevant, consults the authors and their institution.
- Corrections are published as a separate, citable notice linked to the original article; minor errors that do not affect the content are not formally corrected.
- Retracted articles remain online, clearly watermarked "RETRACTED", with a retraction notice stating the reason and who initiated the retraction. The DOI metadata in Crossref is updated accordingly.
- Article removal is limited to exceptional legal cases (e.g., defamation, legal infringement, or serious risk); in that case the metadata remains with a note explaining the removal.
