ERRATUM AND CORRIGENDUM

For the purposes of this policy, the term Editor refers to all editorial title variations and is limited to editors who have final responsibility for manuscript acceptance and post-publication correction decisions.

Applied Information System and Management (AISM) is committed to maintaining the accuracy, transparency, and integrity of the scholarly record through appropriate correction mechanisms, including errata and corrigenda.

All content of accepted and published articles is subject to the editorial review process organized by and under the responsibility of the Editor. If authors wish to add, revise, or replace content after acceptance, they must submit a formal request to the Editor. The proposed content will be reviewed before any editorial action is taken.

• If the new material is additional to the accepted article and substantially extends the study, it must be submitted for peer review as a new manuscript that refers back to the original article.
• If the new material is intended to correct or replace content in the accepted or published article, the Editor may consider publishing an erratum or corrigendum.

An erratum refers to a correction of errors introduced to the article by the publisher. These may include mistakes introduced during copyediting, typesetting, layout, metadata entry, online publication, or other production stages.

All publisher introduced changes should be highlighted to the author at the proof stage. Ideally, such errors are identified by the author and corrected by the publisher before final publication. If the error is discovered after publication, the Editor may issue an erratum to correct the scholarly record.

A corrigendum refers to a correction requested by the author after acceptance or publication. Authors who identify an error in their article must contact the Editor and explain the nature, location, and significance of the proposed correction.

The Editor will determine whether the proposed correction affects the interpretation, reliability, or scholarly record of the article. AISM will publish a corrigendum only after receiving approval and instructions from the Editor.

Policy Statement: Errata and corrigenda are published to preserve the accuracy and transparency of the scholarly record while ensuring that readers are clearly informed of corrections to accepted or published articles.
