Hasanah in Economics (HIEC) is committed to maintaining the accuracy, transparency, and integrity of the scholarly record. The journal recognizes that errors or concerns may arise after an article has been published and provides procedures for correcting the record when necessary.
This policy applies to articles published in HIEC and covers corrections, expressions of concern, retractions, and other appropriate editorial actions.
HIEC follows recognized publication ethics principles and may refer to the guidance of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), particularly its Core Practices and guidance on handling publication misconduct.
A correction may be issued when an error in a published article requires amendment but does not invalidate the overall findings or conclusions.
Examples include:
Errors in author affiliations or acknowledgments.
Incorrect funding information.
Minor factual or typographical errors affecting the interpretation of the text.
Errors in tables, figures, references, or other published information that can be corrected without invalidating the main findings.
Requests for corrections may be submitted by authors, readers, editors, or other parties with relevant evidence.
The editorial team will assess the significance of the reported error and determine whether a correction notice is necessary.
When a correction is published, it should identify the affected article, describe the correction clearly, and provide a link to the original publication. The original article's record should remain traceable.
An Expression of Concern may be issued when credible concerns arise about the reliability, integrity, or ethical compliance of a published article, but the available evidence is insufficient to reach a definitive conclusion.
This action may be appropriate when:
An investigation into potential research misconduct remains unresolved.
Significant concerns about the validity of data or findings require further assessment.
An institutional investigation or other relevant inquiry has not yet concluded.
The notice should explain the nature of the concern as clearly as possible without compromising a legitimate investigation or disclosing confidential information improperly.
The journal will review the matter when additional evidence becomes available and determine whether further action, including correction or retraction, is necessary.
Retraction is an editorial action intended to correct the scholarly record when a published article is found to be seriously unreliable or otherwise unsuitable to remain part of the reliable scholarly literature.
HIEC may consider retracting an article when there is credible evidence of:
Significant data fabrication or falsification.
Plagiarism or substantial unattributed reproduction of other work.
Duplicate or redundant publication that materially compromises the scholarly record.
Serious methodological, analytical, or factual errors that invalidate the principal findings or conclusions.
Unethical research practices or serious violations of research ethics.
Manipulation of peer review or other substantial publication misconduct.
Other serious circumstances that undermine the reliability or integrity of the published article.
Retraction decisions will be based on the evidence available, the seriousness of the concern, and applicable publication ethics principles. Retraction is not intended as a punishment for honest error or as a means of resolving ordinary academic disagreement.
The journal may consult the relevant authors, independent experts, institutions, or other appropriate parties before reaching a decision, where practicable.
When potential grounds for retraction are identified, HIEC will follow an appropriate and documented procedure:
Initial Assessment: The editor evaluates the allegation and available supporting evidence.
Author Notification: The corresponding author and, where appropriate, other affected authors are invited to respond.
Further Investigation: The journal may seek additional evidence, independent expert advice, or information from relevant institutions.
Editorial Decision: The editor or editor-in-chief determines the appropriate action based on the findings and applicable policy.
Publication of Notice: If retraction is warranted, the journal publishes a clearly identified retraction notice explaining the reasons to the extent appropriate.
Linking and Record Preservation: The retraction notice is linked to the original article, and the publication record is maintained for transparency.
Where an immediate response is necessary to alert readers to a serious unresolved concern, the journal may consider publishing an Expression of Concern while further assessment continues.
A retracted article will ordinarily remain identifiable in the journal archive to preserve the scholarly record and prevent confusion about its publication history.
The article's online record and, where technically feasible, its full-text version will be clearly marked as retracted. A separate retraction notice will identify the article and explain the reason for the retraction.
The notice should include the article title, author names, publication details, DOI or permanent article URL where available, date of retraction, and a clear explanation of the grounds for the decision.
Removal of an article's full text will be considered only in exceptional circumstances, such as legal requirements or serious risks involving privacy, safety, or other compelling concerns. The journal will preserve an appropriate record of the action where possible.
Requests to correct author names, affiliations, funding statements, acknowledgments, or other publication metadata will be assessed by the editorial team.
Changes to authorship require a documented explanation and appropriate confirmation from the affected authors. The journal may request supporting evidence before approving a change.
Where an article has a registered DOI, the journal will update relevant metadata and notify the applicable registration service when necessary and supported by its publishing arrangements.
Information about DOI registration and metadata services is available from Crossref.
HIEC takes allegations of plagiarism, data fabrication, data falsification, duplicate publication, authorship manipulation, and other forms of research misconduct seriously.
The journal will assess credible allegations fairly and confidentially. Authors may be asked to provide explanations, research records, ethics approval documents, or other relevant evidence.
Where necessary, the journal may contact the authors' institutions or other appropriate bodies. The journal will distinguish between substantiated misconduct, unresolved concerns, and honest errors.
Relevant guidance may be obtained from COPE and its publication ethics resources.
Authors may appeal a correction or retraction decision by submitting a written explanation supported by relevant evidence.
Complaints concerning the handling of a correction, investigation, or retraction may be sent to the HIEC editorial office. Where the complaint concerns the editor-in-chief, the publisher or an independent editorial representative should handle the matter where practicable.
Appeals will be reviewed objectively, but submitting an appeal does not automatically suspend an editorial action or guarantee reversal of a decision.
Authors are expected to notify the journal promptly when they identify significant errors in their published work and to cooperate with appropriate investigations.
Editors are responsible for evaluating evidence fairly, maintaining confidentiality, documenting decisions, and taking reasonable action to correct the scholarly record.
The publisher, CV. Gerasi Insan Nusantara, supports the journal's efforts to maintain publication integrity, preserve article records, and implement appropriate corrections or retractions.
All parties are expected to act professionally and avoid making unsupported public allegations of misconduct.
HIEC seeks to handle corrections and retractions transparently, proportionately, and consistently with recognized scholarly publishing practices.
