Article Retraction
Guidelines for Retraction of Articles in the Journal
For articles that have already been published in the Journal of Education and Innovative Learning, if plagiarism is later detected or a complaint is received—whether the plagiarism originates from the author or another source—the journal will investigate the matter and proceed with retraction. The retraction process follows the guidelines established by the Thai-Journal Citation Index Centre (TCI) as follows:
1. Apply a watermark with the words “RETRACTED” or “RETRACTED ARTICLE” on every page of the article.
2. Modify the metadata by adding “[RETRACTED ARTICLE]” before the article’s title.
3. And/or replace the abstract content in both Thai and English with a statement explaining the reason for the retraction.
Procedures for Handling Retracted Articles
The Thai-Journal Citation Index Center has established the following procedures for handling retracted articles:
1. Officially notify TCI via email at tci.thai@gmail.com so that the necessary corrections can be made in the TCI database.
2. Send a formal letter to the highest-ranking official of the author’s affiliated institution.
3. Reject all article submissions from the author for five years.
Additionally, if the article has already been removed from the published issue, TCI requests that the journal re-upload the article with “[RETRACTED ARTICLE]” in the title and the “RETRACTED” watermark on every page to maintain the continuity of page numbering and the issue integrity.
(These guidelines are recommendations from TCI. Journals may adapt them as appropriate.)
