Correction and Retraction

Jurnal Al-Fatih Global Mulia is fully committed to maintaining the integrity, accuracy, and reliability of the scholarly record. Editorial decisions on publishing are guided by the journal's editorial board policies and relevant legal requirements concerning defamation, copyright infringement, and academic misconduct. Published articles generally remain unaltered; however, under exceptional and unavoidable circumstances, published papers may require correction, withdrawal, retraction, or removal.

1. Article Withdrawal (Pre-Publication or Early Errors)

Article withdrawal applies when an uncorrected pre-publication version contains severe technical errors, accidental duplicate submissions to Jurnal Al-Fatih Global Mulia and another publisher, or clear violations of research ethics (such as plagiarism or data falsification). Authors may request a withdrawal by submitting a formal signed withdrawal letter addressed to the Editor-in-Chief.

2. Article Retraction (Post-Publication Infringements)

Retraction is enforced when an already published article is found to suffer from severe ethical breaches, including double submission, fabricated data, major plagiarism, or fraudulent authorship.

Retraction Mechanism: A formal "Retraction: [Article Title]" note signed by the authors and/or editors will be published in the subsequent issue. The online PDF will be watermarked as "RETRACTED," and the HTML version will be removed or replaced with a retraction notice screen.

3. Article Removal (Legal Limitations)

In extremely rare cases, an article may be removed from the online database of Jurnal Al-Fatih Global Mulia if it violates legal rights, contains defamatory statements, poses security risks, or is subject to a court order. While the text is removed, the metadata (title and authors) is retained alongside a formal removal notification.

4. Article Correction and Replacement

Corrections: Minor unintentional errors that do not affect the core conclusions of a published paper will be corrected via an official Corrigendum or Erratum notice. Replacements: If a published article poses severe safety or health risks, authors may retract the flawed study and replace it with a corrected, re-published version accompanied by a complete document history.
