The Journal of Digital Pedagogy is committed to maintaining the integrity of the scholarly record. This policy describes the procedures for addressing errors and publication ethics breaches identified after publication, in accordance with COPE guidelines.

Corrections (Errata). When errors are identified after publication that do not fundamentally affect the reliability of the findings or conclusions, the journal publishes a formal correction notice. The correction clearly describes the error and the amendment, is permanently linked to the original article in the electronic version, and is published promptly and freely. Authors may request corrections by contacting the journal secretariat at editor@digital-pedagogy.eu. Corrections are subject to editorial review and approval.

Retractions. Articles may be retracted when: evidence of unreliable findings exists due to misconduct (fabrication, falsification) or honest error; plagiarism or duplicate publication is discovered; authorship or contributorship is improperly attributed; research ethics violations occurred; or conflicts of interest were not disclosed that would have affected interpretation.

Retraction requests may be initiated by authors, editors, institutional authorities, or third parties with evidence of publication misconduct. All retraction requests undergo thorough investigation following COPE guidelines. Retracted articles remain online with a clear retraction notice stating the reason for retraction and who initiated it. The retraction notice uses objective, factual language and is published promptly and freely. It is permanently linked to the retracted article. Retracted articles are never removed — their retracted status is clearly indicated in all versions. Retractions are communicated to relevant indexing services and databases.

In cases where only specific sections or data are unreliable, a partial retraction may be issued if the remaining content retains scientific validity and integrity.

Expressions of concern. When the journal becomes aware of potential issues with a published article but evidence is insufficient for immediate retraction, an Expression of Concern may be issued. This alerts readers to potential problems while investigation continues. Expressions of Concern are published and linked to the original article, and may be followed by correction, retraction, or removal depending on investigation outcomes.

Notification. All corrections, retractions, and expressions of concern are communicated to relevant indexing services and databases. They are permanently linked to the original article and are freely accessible.
