Manis: Jurnal Manajemen dan Bisnis recognizes that authors may need to withdraw a submitted manuscript for valid academic, ethical, administrative, or technical reasons. However, manuscript withdrawal must be conducted responsibly and transparently to avoid disruption of the editorial and peer-review process.

Authors are expected to carefully prepare and check their manuscript before submission. By submitting a manuscript to the journal, authors confirm that the manuscript is original, has not been published previously, is not under consideration elsewhere, and has been approved by all authors.

Manuscript withdrawal may be considered when there are valid reasons, including:

• The manuscript contains a serious error that must be corrected before submission;
• The authors identify a problem with data, analysis, method, or interpretation before publication;
• The manuscript was submitted accidentally or without approval from all authors;
• There is an authorship dispute that must be resolved before publication;
• There is an ethical issue that requires clarification before the manuscript can continue in the editorial process;
• The authors need to revise the manuscript substantially and resubmit it later as a new submission;
• Other valid reasons accepted by the editorial team.

Authors may request withdrawal before the manuscript is assigned to reviewers. At this stage, withdrawal may be approved if the corresponding author submits a formal request to the editorial office with a clear explanation.

The editorial team will review the request and update the manuscript status in the journal system when the withdrawal is approved.

Withdrawal during the peer-review process is discouraged because reviewers and editors have already spent time evaluating the manuscript. However, the journal may consider withdrawal requests if the authors provide valid and reasonable justification.

The editorial team may contact the corresponding author for clarification before approving or rejecting the withdrawal request.

Withdrawal after acceptance is strongly discouraged because the manuscript has completed editorial assessment and peer review. At this stage, the journal may have begun copyediting, layout, DOI registration, metadata preparation, or issue scheduling.

Authors who request withdrawal after acceptance must submit a formal request signed or approved by all authors. The request must clearly explain the reason for withdrawal and will be evaluated by the editorial team.

Once an article has been published, it cannot be withdrawn in the same way as an unpublished manuscript. Published articles become part of the scholarly record. Any serious issue identified after publication will be handled through the journal’s correction policy, retraction policy, or publication ethics policy.

If authors identify serious errors, ethical concerns, or reliability problems after publication, they must immediately notify the editorial office. The editorial team will determine whether a correction, expression of concern, or retraction is required.

Authors who wish to withdraw a manuscript must submit a formal request to the editorial office. The request must be submitted by the corresponding author and must include the following information:

• Manuscript title;
• Names of all authors;
• Submission ID, if available;
• Date of submission;
• Current manuscript status;
• Clear reason for withdrawal;
• Statement that all authors agree to the withdrawal request;
• Signature or written confirmation from the corresponding author, and from all authors when required.

The editorial team will evaluate each withdrawal request based on the manuscript status, reason for withdrawal, ethical considerations, and the stage of the editorial process.

The journal considers the following actions as unethical withdrawal practices:

• Withdrawing a manuscript after review or acceptance without valid reason;
• Submitting the same manuscript to another journal while it is still being processed by this journal;
• Failing to respond to editorial communication after requesting withdrawal;
• Requesting withdrawal due to disagreement with reviewer comments without academic justification;
• Submitting false information or misleading reasons for withdrawal;
• Submitting withdrawal without approval from all authors.

Manis: Jurnal Manajemen dan Bisnis is committed to maintaining the accuracy and integrity of published articles. When errors are identified after publication, the journal may issue a correction to ensure that readers have access to accurate and reliable information.

A correction is issued when an error affects part of the article but does not invalidate the overall findings, interpretation, conclusion, or contribution of the article. Corrections are intended to clarify, update, or repair the scholarly record without removing the article from publication.

A published article may require correction when one or more of the following errors are identified:

• Errors in author name, affiliation, email address, ORCID, or author order;
• Errors in article title, abstract, keywords, or metadata;
• Errors in tables, figures, captions, or numbering;
• Minor errors in data presentation that do not change the main findings;
• Errors in citations, references, DOI, or bibliography details;
• Typographical, formatting, or layout errors that may affect clarity;
• Incorrect acknowledgments, funding information, or conflict of interest statements;
• Minor methodological or interpretive clarifications that do not invalidate the article;
• Errors introduced during editing, production, copyediting, or layout processes.

The journal may issue different forms of correction depending on the nature and source of the error.

The correction process is conducted carefully to ensure that the published record remains accurate and transparent.

When a correction is issued, the journal may publish a correction notice. The notice will clearly identify the original article and explain the correction in a transparent manner.

A correction notice should include the article title, author names, journal name, volume, issue, year, DOI or URL, description of the error, and corrected information.

The published article is considered the version of record. When a correction is made, the journal may update the online version of the article, publish a correction notice, or provide an editorial note explaining the correction.

The journal will not silently change published articles in a way that affects the scholarly record. Any substantive correction will be documented to maintain transparency and accountability.

A correction is not sufficient when the error seriously affects the reliability of the article, invalidates the main findings, or indicates publication misconduct. In such cases, the journal may consider issuing an expression of concern or retracting the article.

• Major errors that invalidate the results or conclusions;
• Fabricated, falsified, or manipulated data;
• Plagiarism or duplicate publication;
• Serious ethical violations;
• Compromised peer review or false authorship;
• Misconduct that affects the credibility of the published article.

Manis: Jurnal Manajemen dan Bisnis is committed to maintaining the integrity, accuracy, and reliability of the scholarly record. Retraction is used as a mechanism to correct the literature and alert readers when a published article contains serious problems that make its findings, data, conclusions, or publication record unreliable.

The purpose of retraction is not to punish authors, but to protect the integrity of scientific communication and ensure that readers are properly informed about articles that should no longer be relied upon.

A published article may be considered for retraction when one or more of the following conditions are identified:

• There is clear evidence that the findings or conclusions are unreliable due to major error, miscalculation, or misinterpretation;
• The article contains fabricated, falsified, manipulated, or misleading data, images, tables, figures, or results;
• The article contains plagiarism, self-plagiarism, duplicate publication, or substantial overlap with previously published work without proper acknowledgment;
• The article has been published elsewhere without proper permission, attribution, or justification;
• The article reports unethical research practices or violates applicable ethical standards;
• The peer-review process was compromised, manipulated, or conducted improperly;
• The article contains false authorship, fictitious authorship, inappropriate authorship, or undisclosed authorship problems;
• There is an undisclosed conflict of interest that significantly affects the interpretation, review, or publication of the article;
• The article violates copyright, licensing terms, institutional policy, or legal requirements;
• The article contains serious use of unreliable or fabricated references, AI-generated false content, or other forms of publication misconduct.

The retraction process is conducted carefully, fairly, and transparently. The editorial team will examine all allegations or evidence before making a decision.

If an article is retracted, the journal will publish a retraction notice. The notice will be clearly identified as a retraction and linked to the original article. The original article may remain available online to preserve the scholarly record, but it will be clearly marked as retracted.

A retraction notice should include sufficient information to identify the retracted article and explain the reason for the retraction in a transparent and responsible manner.

Not every error requires retraction. The editorial team will determine the most appropriate action based on the seriousness of the problem and its impact on the reliability of the article.

Authors may request retraction of their published article if they discover serious errors, ethical problems, or other issues that significantly affect the reliability of the article.

The request must be submitted in writing to the editorial office and must include a clear explanation of the reason for retraction. The editor will evaluate the request before issuing a decision.

After retraction, the article will remain part of the journal’s publication record but will be clearly marked as retracted. The article metadata and retraction notice will remain accessible to maintain transparency and the integrity of the scholarly record.

The journal may notify indexing databases, repositories, and relevant parties about the retraction so that the article status can be updated accordingly.

Requests for withdrawal or correction and concerns about potential retraction should be submitted to the editorial office with the relevant manuscript or article details and supporting reasons or evidence.
