Community Service Research Innovation (CSRI) and its publisher, PT. Inovasi Analisis Data, are fundamentally committed to the stewardship of the scholarly record. We recognize that our mission—"Advancing Knowledge and Practical Solutions in Community Service and Social Development"—depends on the trust our community places in the integrity, permanence, and transparency of the content we publish. This policy delineates the mechanisms by which we maintain the scholarly record, ensuring its accuracy and permanence for future generations of researchers.
This document outlines our policy for post-publication amendments, corrections, and retractions. The implementation of the CrossMark service is the primary public-facing manifestation of this commitment, providing a direct, persistent link to the authoritative Version of Record (VoR) and its metadata.
The Version of Record (VoR) is the definitive, citable, publisher-maintained version of the article. It is the final, typeset, and peer-reviewed manuscript that has been formally published, assigned a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), and indexed. This distinguishes it from preprints or accepted manuscripts (AMs), which may not reflect the final copy-edited and formatted content.
CSRI considers the VoR to be a fixed historical artifact. It will not be altered or updated to reflect research or understanding that has evolved *after* the date of publication. New findings must be published as new articles. However, the VoR *can* and *must* be corrected if errors or misconduct that compromise its integrity are discovered. This policy governs that correction process.
Inconsequential alterations that do not affect the scholarly meaning of the article (e.g., correcting a layout anomaly, fixing a broken external link, or updating non-scholarly metadata) may be performed by the publisher without a formal post-publication notice.
CSRI has adopted the CrossMark initiative to provide readers with a clear and persistent method for verifying the status of a published article. The CrossMark logo, present on all CSRI article (PDF and HTML) pages, acts as a badge of governance.
Clicking the CrossMark logo will trigger a pop-up window displaying the article's current status and a record of any post-publication updates. This metadata record is maintained by CrossRef and provides assurance to the reader that they are accessing the most current, authoritative version of the content. It also provides a direct link to any associated correction or retraction notices.
Our correction policy is informed by the principles set forth by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). We are guided by the following core tenets:
CSRI utilizes a standardized taxonomy for different types of post-publication amendments. These are issued at the discretion of the Editor-in-Chief in consultation with the Publisher.
A Corrigendum is a notice of correction for a significant error or omission introduced by the author(s) that impacts the scholarly integrity, data, interpretation, or attribution of the article. This may include errors in methodology, data analysis, figure labeling, or an omission in the author list or funding acknowledgments. A corrigendum is issued only when the error does not invalidate the article's primary conclusions. All co-authors must provide consent for the Corrigendum to be published.
An Erratum is a notice of correction for a significant error introduced by the publisher (CSRI) during the journal production process (e.g., typesetting, figure conversion, data table transcription). Such errors inadvertently alter the meaning or accuracy of the content as submitted by the authors. CSRI takes full responsibility for such errors and will issue an Erratum to correct the record.
A Retraction is a formal withdrawal of a published article from the scholarly record. Retractions are reserved for articles that are severely flawed, unreliable, or constitute academic misconduct, rendering their findings or conclusions invalid. Grounds for retraction include, but are not limited to:
A formal Retraction Notice, signed by the Editor-in-Chief, will be published. It will state the reason(s) for the retraction and who initiated it. The original article will be prominently watermarked as "RETRACTED," but it will remain accessible on the journal website to maintain the integrity of the historical record.
An Expression of Concern is a temporary notice issued by the Editor-in-Chief to alert the readership to a potential integrity issue with a published article. An EoC is considered in cases where:
The EoC serves as an interim notice and will be replaced by a Corrigendum, Retraction, or a notice of exoneration once the investigation is complete.
An Addendum is a supplementary notice published by the authors to add information essential for the understanding of the article. It does not correct an error but provides clarification or additional context (e.g., an expanded methodological explanation, clarification of a complex point). Addenda are subject to editorial review and may be peer-reviewed if they contain new data or interpretation.
This is an extraordinary measure reserved for cases where the article poses a serious and immediate risk if left in the public domain, or where it is found to violate the law. This includes, but is not limited to:
In such cases, the article's bibliographic metadata will remain, accompanied by a notice stating that the article was removed for legal or public safety reasons.
The responsibility for the integrity of the published work is shared with the authors. Authors have a professional obligation to notify the CSRI editorial office immediately if they discover a significant error in their published work. All authors are expected to cooperate fully with the journal in any investigation and in the preparation of any subsequent post-publication notices.
This policy is administered by the Editor-in-Chief of CSRI, in close consultation with the Publisher, PT. Inovasi Analisis Data. This document will be periodically reviewed to ensure it remains aligned with evolving international best practices in scholarly publishing. Our adoption of CrossMark signifies more than a technical feature; it represents a binding commitment to transparency, accountability, and the long-term preservation of the scholarly record.
