The Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences (JE&AS) includes the Crossmark button on all articles' HTML and online PDFs. Crossmark is an industry-standard mechanism that allows readers to quickly check that the version of the article they are reading is up-to-date. By clicking the Crossmark button, readers can view the Crossmark record for that article, which includes details of all formal amendments and corrections.

Corrections & Retractions

Author Correction: An Author Correction may be published to correct an important error(s) made by the author(s) that affects the scientific integrity of the published article, the publication record, or the reputation of the authors or the journal.  

Publisher Correction: A Publisher Correction may be published to correct an important error(s) made by the journal that affects the scientific integrity of the published article, the publication record, or the reputation of the authors or of the journal.

Addendum: An addendum is generally published when significant additional information crucial to the reader’s understanding of the article has come to light following the publication of the article.

Editor's Note: An Editor's Note is a notification alerting readers if the journal has initiated an inquiry in response to concerns raised about a published article. It is an online-only update made only to the HTML version of the record of the published article. It is not indexed.

Editorial Expression of Concern (EEoCs): An Editorial Expression of Concern is a statement from the editors alerting readers to serious concerns affecting the integrity of the published paper.

Retraction: An article may be retracted when the integrity of the published work is substantially undermined owing to errors in the conduct, analysis, and/or reporting of the study. Violating publication or research ethics may also result in a study’s retraction. The original article is marked as retracted but a PDF version remains available to readers, and the retraction statement is bi-directionally linked to the original published paper. Retraction statements typically include a statement of assent or dissent from the authors. When making corrections to articles, in the majority of cases the original article (PDF and HTML) is corrected. It is bi-directionally linked to and from the published amendment notice, which details the original error. For the sake of transparency, when changes made to the original article affect data in figures, tables or text (for example, when data points/error bars change or curves require redrawing) the amendment notice will reproduce the original data. When it is not possible to correct the original article in both HTML and PDF versions.
