CORRECTION AND RETRACTION

This page explains how STORAGE: Jurnal Ilmiah Teknik dan Ilmu Komputer amends published articles. A correction repairs an error in an article that remains substantially reliable. A retraction warns readers that an article can no longer be relied on. The journal may also issue an expression of concern while a serious concern is examined.

A request from authors to remove an article is assessed under this policy. It is not granted automatically.

Types of Action at a Glance

Action	When it is used	What readers see
Correction	The article is substantially reliable, and it has an error that needs to be repaired.	A dated correction notice that is linked to the original article.
Expression of concern	There is a serious concern, and the investigation is not yet resolved.	A dated notice that is linked to the article.
Retraction	The article can no longer be relied on, for example because of a serious error or misconduct.	A dated retraction notice and a clear warning about the status of the article.

ACorrections

A1. When a Correction Is Appropriate

Type of error	Examples
Content errors	Errors in data, tables, figures, equations, source code, or supplementary files, such as datasets, questionnaires, or test procedures.
Author details	Wrong author names or affiliations.
Statements	Missing or wrong funding, competing interest, or acknowledgment statements.
References	Errors in references, or in the attribution of sources.

A correction cannot be used to hide findings that are fundamentally unreliable. When a change would alter the conclusions in a significant way, the journal first considers whether a correction is enough or whether another action is needed. Changes to the list of authors follow the Authorship and Contributorship policy.

A2. Requesting and Assessing a Correction

Requests are sent by email to the editorial office at jurnal.storage@gmail.com. Authors who find a significant error in their own published work should notify the journal promptly. A request must include the following.

No.	Please include
1	The DOI of the article.
2	The passage that is affected.
3	The change that is proposed.
4	The reason for the change.

The responsible editor assesses the error. The editor may ask the authors to respond, or may seek independent advice.
A wider concern about integrity is handled under the Allegations of Misconduct policy.
The journal seeks the agreement of the authors, but it may make a necessary correction without it.

A3. The Correction Notice

Element	Requirement
Content	The notice identifies the article, describes the error and the repair, and explains any effect on the interpretation of the article. It may be called a corrigendum or an erratum.
Status	The notice is dated, clearly labeled as a correction, freely accessible, and linked to the original article.
Transparency	Substantive changes are always disclosed and are never made silently. Minor typographical or technical repairs may be recorded as a version note or as an administrative update.
Privacy	A change of name is handled in a way that protects the privacy of the author. Notices avoid personal details that are not needed.

A4. Implementation

When a correction changes the article file, the corrected version is published together with the notice. The change is recorded, so that readers can see what changed and when.
The DOI of the article stays the same.
The journal updates the metadata of the article where it is needed, and it informs the services that index the journal.

BRetractions

B1. Grounds for Consideration

The journal considers a retraction in the following situations.

No.	Ground
1	The findings are unreliable because of a major error, fabrication, falsification, or an inappropriate analysis.
2	There is substantial plagiarism, or an undisclosed redundant publication.
3	There is a serious problem with the right of the authors to publish the work.
4	There is a serious ethical failure, such as research without the required permission or without the consent of participants.
5	The assessment process was compromised.
6	A major competing interest was not disclosed.

An honest error can justify a retraction when it undermines the findings. Proof of an intention to mislead is not always required.

B2. Decision Safeguards

Safeguard	Description
Who decides	An authorized editor who has no conflict of interest makes the decision. The publisher implements it.
Evidence	The evidence and the responses of the authors are reviewed under the Allegations of Misconduct policy.
What does not normally justify a retraction	Allegations that are not supported, an authorship dispute alone, and a problem that can be fixed with a correction.
Response of the authors	The authors can normally respond. Their agreement is not required, and the protection of readers is not delayed indefinitely.

B3. The Retraction Notice

Element	Requirement
Content	The notice identifies the article and its DOI, names the party that issues the retraction, and gives reasons that are based on evidence.
Clarity	The notice separates what has been established from what is still unresolved. The wording is factual and proportionate, and no group is blamed without evidence.
Status	The notice is dated, freely accessible, clearly labeled as a retraction, and permanently linked to the article.

B4. Handling of the Published Record

Topic	Practice
Normal practice	A retracted article normally stays available with a clear status warning and a link to the retraction notice. It is not deleted.
Exceptions	The full text may be removed for legal reasons, or when there is a serious risk to the privacy or the safety of participants or of other people. A notice still explains the removal.
Reader rights	A retraction does not withdraw the rights of readers that were already granted under the Licensing terms.

CExpressions of Concern

An expression of concern alerts readers to a serious concern while an investigation is unresolved, or when the evidence points to a serious problem that is not yet conclusive.

The notice is dated, freely accessible, and linked to the article.
When the matter is resolved, the notice is replaced or followed by a correction, by a retraction, or by a statement that the concern is resolved.
The matter is handled under the Allegations of Misconduct policy.
