R-W-C Policy
Retraction, Withdrawal, & Correction Policy
The Sinergi International Journal of Law has established a comprehensive RWC policy to maintain the integrity of published legal research:
- Article Retraction in Legal Scholarship:
- Implemented for significant errors in legal reasoning, undisclosed conflicts of interest, or ethical violations.
- The retraction process involves thorough review by legal experts and the Ethics Advisory Board.
- Retraction notices are prominently published to ensure transparency in the legal academic community.
- Article Withdrawal Policy:
- To discourage arbitrary withdrawals, we implement a tiered fee structure: • Withdrawal during peer review: $10 USD / 100,000 IDR • Post-acceptance withdrawal: $15 USD / 200,000 IDR • Withdrawal of "In Press" articles: $20 USD / 300,000 IDR
- Non-compliance results in a one-year restriction from publishing in the journal.
- Legal Article Correction Procedures:
- Corrections are published for minor errors in legal citations or data.
- Categories include publisher's erratum, author's corrigendum, and legal addendum.
- Decisions on corrections are made by the Editor-in-Chief in consultation with legal experts.
- Article Removal in Exceptional Legal Circumstances:
- Articles may be removed in cases of defamation, copyright infringement, or court orders.
- Metadata is retained with an explanation for the removal to maintain the scholarly record.
- Legal Article Replacement Protocol:
- In cases where published legal analysis could lead to misinterpretation of law, replacement with a corrected version may be allowed.
- The original article is retracted and linked to the revised version, preserving the scholarly trail.
