Correction and Retraction

Academic Pillars: Jurnal Pendidikan Dasar takes seriously the integrity and completeness of our content's scholarly record for all end users. Changes to articles after they are published online may only be made under the circumstances outlined below. Academic Pillars: Jurnal Pendidikan Dasar places great importance on the authorship of articles after publication, and our policies are based on best practices in the academic publishing community.

An erratum is a statement from the author of the original paper that briefly explains any corrections resulting from errors or omissions. Any impact on the paper's conclusions must be noted. Corrected articles are not removed from the online journal, but an erratum notice is provided. The erratum is freely available to all readers and is linked to the corrected article.

A retraction is a notice that the paper should not be considered part of the scientific literature. A retraction is issued if there is clear evidence that the findings are unreliable, which may be due to misconduct or honest error; if the findings have previously been published elsewhere without proper citation, permission, or justification; if the work is plagiarized; or if the work reports unethical research. To protect the integrity of the record, retracted articles are not removed from the online journal, but a notice of retraction is provided, freely available to all readers, and linked to the retracted article. Retractions may be published by authors when they discover substantial scientific misconduct; in other cases, the Editor or Publisher may conclude that retraction is the appropriate action. In all cases, the retraction indicates the reason for the action and who is responsible for the decision. If a retraction is made without unanimous agreement of the authors, this is also noted. In rare and extreme cases involving legal violations, the Publisher may edit or delete the article. Bibliographic information about the article will be retained to ensure the integrity of the scientific record.

A Publisher's Note notifies readers that an article has been corrected after publication. A Publisher's Note is issued by the Publisher and is used in cases where typographical or production errors (which are the Publisher's fault) affect the integrity of the article's metadata (such as the title, author list, or author caption) or would significantly affect readers' ability to understand the article. The original article is removed and replaced with the corrected version. The Publisher's Note is freely available to all readers. Minor errors that do not affect the integrity of the metadata or readers' ability to understand the article and that do not involve scientific errors or omissions will be corrected at the Publisher's discretion.

In such cases, the original article will be removed and replaced with a corrected version. The date of the correction will be noted on the corrected article. Authors should also be aware that the original article will only be removed and replaced with a corrected version less than one year after the original publication date. Corrections to articles published more than one year ago will only be documented in the Publisher's Note.
