1. Purpose of the Correction Policy

The purpose of this policy is to provide a clear procedure for correcting errors identified after an article has been published.

Advanced Scientific Research recognizes that published articles may occasionally contain errors that require clarification or correction. Correcting the scholarly record promptly and transparently is an important part of responsible academic publishing.

2. Principles of Correction

3. Types of Corrections

Depending on the nature and significance of an error, Advanced Scientific Research may use different forms of post-publication correction.

4. When Is a Correction Required?

A correction may be considered when an error materially affects the article's accuracy, interpretation, identification or discoverability but does not make the article fundamentally unreliable.

Examples may include:

• Incorrect author name, affiliation or correspondence information.
• Incorrect funding information.
• Errors in tables, figures or captions.
• Incorrect references or bibliographic information.
• Factual errors that do not invalidate the central findings.
• Errors in equations, units, terminology or numerical values that can be corrected.
• Errors introduced during typesetting or production.
• Other significant errors that may mislead readers if left uncorrected.

5. Author-Initiated Corrections

Authors should contact the Advanced Scientific Research editorial office as soon as they become aware of a significant error in their published article.

A correction request should normally include:

• Article title.
• Author name(s).
• DOI or article identification information, where available.
• A clear description of the error.
• The proposed corrected text, figure, table or information.
• An explanation of whether the error affects the interpretation or conclusions of the article.

6. Publisher or Production Corrections

Advanced Scientific Research may issue a publisher correction when an error is introduced during editorial processing, typesetting, formatting, metadata creation or online publication.

Examples may include:

• Incorrect article metadata.
• Production errors in tables or figures.
• Incorrect page numbering or publication information.
• Incorrect DOI metadata.
• Formatting errors that materially affect interpretation.
• Errors introduced during conversion of manuscript files into the final published format.

7. Correction Process

Advanced Scientific Research may follow the following workflow when evaluating a correction request:

Editorial Assessment

The editorial office will determine whether the reported issue requires a formal correction, an editorial amendment, an Expression of Concern or consideration under the journal's retraction policy.

8. Correction Notice

Where a formal correction is required, Advanced Scientific Research may publish a correction notice linked to the original article.

A correction notice should identify, where applicable:

• The original article title.
• Author name(s).
• Article DOI or persistent identifier.
• The nature of the correction.
• The corrected information.
• The date of the correction.

9. Article and DOI Metadata

Where applicable, Advanced Scientific Research will make reasonable efforts to ensure that corrected bibliographic metadata is accurately reflected in the journal's online record and relevant DOI metadata.

This may include:

10. Correction vs Retraction

A correction is generally appropriate when an error can be addressed without making the published article fundamentally unreliable.

Retraction may be appropriate when the reliability or integrity of the article is seriously compromised.

11. Responsibilities

12. Appeals and Reconsideration

Authors may request reconsideration of a correction decision when they believe that relevant evidence has been overlooked or the proposed correction is based on a material factual misunderstanding.

Requests should provide a clear explanation and supporting evidence.

Advanced Scientific Research Commitment to an Accurate Scholarly Record

Advanced Scientific Research considers the integrity of its published literature to be a continuing responsibility. Corrections are therefore handled as part of the journal's broader publication-ethics framework.

The journal aims to ensure that significant errors are corrected transparently while preserving the traceability and integrity of the original publication record.
