IJERD is committed to Proof Correction and the publication of accurate, complete, and error-free content.

IJERD shall support its authors and provide a transparent and timely Proof Correction process supported by its Editorial Board and publication subject matter experts.

Authors are responsible for promptly reviewing and correcting proofs to ensure complete accuracy in the content’s publication in IJERD.

Enhancements for DOAJ and internal:

• I am not familiar with the types of concerns, questions, timeline issues, and related which IJERD has received over the years related to Proof Correction.
  • The depth and details here appear superficial and may not meet our or authors’ needs
    • I suggest that IJERD develop a policy and procedures which provide the necessary detail to address this component

Proof of Correction Policy for IJERD

• After acceptance and prior to publication, authors are provided with a galley proof of their manuscript.
• The corresponding author is responsible for reviewing the galley proof carefully to identify any errors in text, figures, tables, or formatting.
• Authors should return the corrected proof within a specified timeframe (usually a few days) to avoid delays in publication.
• Corrections are limited to typographical errors, formatting issues, or minor factual inaccuracies; major revisions or additions are typically not accepted at this stage.
• If authors miss the deadline for returning corrections without prior communication, publication may proceed with the existing proof, and further corrections can only be addressed through formal post-publication corrections or errata.
• IJERD editorial staff may also make minor editorial changes for clarity or formatting without altering the scientific content.
• After publication, any necessary corrections, clarifications, or retractions follow standard post-publication procedures to ensure the integrity and accuracy of the record.
