JCSE is committed to upholding the accuracy and credibility of all published work. When errors are identified in published articles whether by authors, editors, or readers that do not affect the main conclusions but could mislead or confuse readers, we will issue a formal correction to maintain transparency and scholarly integrity.

Types of Corrections

• Erratum
  A correction issued by the journal to fix significant editorial or production mistakes. Examples include:
• Misplaced figures or tables
• Spelling errors in author names
• Incorrect formatting or typesetting
• Corrigendum
  A correction submitted by the authors to fix errors they made in the original article. These may include:
• Incorrect data labels or figure captions
• Missing funding acknowledgments
• Mistakes in author affiliations

When We Issue Corrections
Corrections may be considered when the following issues are identified:

• Errors in tables, charts, or other data presentations—as long as the study’s core results and conclusions remain unchanged
• Wrong or outdated author names, titles, or affiliations
• Omitted or incorrect information, such as funding sources or conflict of interest declarations
• Minor factual errors that could mislead readers (e.g., incorrect dates, locations, or terminology)
