CrossMark Policy

Jurnal IPTEK Bagi Masyarakat (J-IbM) participates in the Crossmark service provided by Crossref to maintain the integrity, reliability, and transparency of the scholarly record. By clicking the Crossmark logo associated with a published article, readers can verify whether the document is current and access any updates, corrections, or publication notices related to that article.

Post-Publication Updates

The journal may issue post-publication notices when necessary to maintain the accuracy and integrity of the scholarly record.

Correction. Issued when minor errors, omissions, or inaccuracies are identified that do not invalidate the overall findings or conclusions of the article.

Addendum. Published when additional information is required to clarify, update, or supplement the original article.

Expression of Concern. Issued when serious concerns have been raised regarding the integrity, reliability, or ethical conduct of a published work and an investigation is ongoing.

Retraction. Issued when a published article contains significant errors, unreliable findings, plagiarism, duplicate publication, data fabrication, data falsification, or other forms of research misconduct. Retraction aims to correct the scholarly record and maintain research integrity. Retracted articles remain accessible as part of the permanent scholarly archive and are clearly identified as retracted.

Withdrawal. Applied to manuscripts removed before formal publication due to significant errors, ethical concerns, duplicate submission, or author-requested withdrawal approved by the editorial office.

Removal. Applied only in exceptional circumstances involving legal requirements, ethical obligations, public safety concerns, or court orders where continued availability of the content would be inappropriate.
