Retraction or Correction

During the time, Culture & Society: Journal of Anthropological Research had spent valuable resources besides time spent in the process. Authors are required to pay a withdrawal fee of IDR 250,000. Paid upon official request from the author(s) in an email sent to Culture & Society: Journal of Anthropological Research editor using the same email address used in correspondence.

Culture & Society: Journal of Anthropological Research editors shall consider retracting a publication if:

  • they have clear evidence that the findings are unreliable, either as a result of misconduct (e.g. data fabri.cation) or honest error (e.g. miscalculation or experimental error)
  • the findings have previously been published elsewhere without proper cross-referencing, permission or justification (i.e. cases of redundant publication)
  • it constitutes plagiarism
  • it reports unethical research

 

Culture & Society: Journal of Anthropological Research editors shall consider issuing an expression of concern if:

  • they receive inconclusive evidence of research or publication misconduct by the authors
  • there is evidence that the findings are unreliable but the authors’ institution will not investigate the case
  • they believe that an investigation into alleged misconduct related to the publication either has not been, or would not be, fair and impartial or conclusive
  • an investigation is underway but a judgment will not be available for a considerable time

Culture & Society: Journal of Anthropological Research editors shall consider issuing a correction if:

  • a small portion of an otherwise reliable publication proves to be misleading (especially because of honest error)
  • the author/contributor list is incorrect (i.e. a deserving author has been omitted or somebody who does not meet authorship criteria has been included)

The mechanism follows the guidelines from Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) which can be accessed at
