Corrections
The published record should remain accurate. Honest errors are corrected in public; they are not quietly overwritten.
When a correction is issued
A correction is appropriate when an honest error affects a part of the article but the overall findings remain reliable. Examples include a mislabeled figure, an incorrect affiliation, a swapped table, or a calculation error that does not overturn the conclusions.
If the error is so serious that the findings cannot be relied upon, or if misconduct is involved, the journal considers retraction instead. See the retractions policy.
Who can request a correction
Authors should contact the editorial office as soon as they discover a significant error. Readers, reviewers, and editors may also raise concerns.
Write to editor@ijegsi.org with the article title, DOI or slug, a description of the error, and the proposed correction. Include evidence where possible.
How corrections are published
The editors assess whether the change is an erratum (author error), a corrigendum, or a publisher correction. Authors are normally asked to agree the wording of the notice.
A correction notice is linked to the original article. The original article is not silently replaced. The publication date of the original does not change. Where a PDF is updated, the notice explains what changed.
Minor typographical errors that do not affect meaning may be corrected at the editor's discretion without a formal notice.
