Crossmark Policy
CrossMark, a multi-publisher initiative from CrossRef, provides a standard way for readers to locate the authoritative version of a document. Elsevier recognizes the importance of the integrity and completeness of the scholarly record to researchers and librarians and attaches the highest importance to maintaining trust in the authority of its electronic archive. Clicking on the CrossMark icon will inform the reader of the current status of a document and may also provide additional publication record information about the document.
Policies for Article Withdrawal, Correction and Retraction
TEFLIN Journal is committed to maintaining the integrity of the scholarly record. When concerns arise regarding a submitted or published article, the journal follows transparent procedures aligned with established publication ethics standards.
Article Withdrawal (Pre-Publication)
Submission of a manuscript to TEFLIN Journal constitutes a commitment by the authors to proceed through the journal’s editorial and peer-review process.
Manuscripts may not be withdrawn after peer review has been completed.
Article Correction (Post-Publication)
A correction may be issued when errors are identified that do not invalidate the overall findings or reliability of the article. This may include typographical errors, minor data inaccuracies, or reference metadata errors that do not affect the existence, authenticity, or relevance of the cited source.
Corrections are published as separate notices and linked to the original article.
Article Retraction (Post-Publication)
An article may be retracted if substantial concerns arise that affect the reliability, validity, or integrity of the work. Grounds for retraction may include, but are not limited to:
• Unverifiable or unreliable data or references;
• Major methodological flaws;
• Plagiarism or redundant publication;
• Ethical violations;
• Fabrication or falsification.
Retracted articles remain accessible to preserve the scholarly record but are clearly marked as retracted. A formal retraction notice is published and linked to the original article.
Retractions address the reliability of the publication and do not necessarily imply misconduct or intent.
