Corrections, Retractions & Expressions of Concern

This policy is applicable to all journals published by Discover STM Publishing Ltd.

If an error is indicated in a published article, the publisher will try to correct the error as soon as possible. 

Corrections and Retractions

In the event of any identified errors in published articles, they will be promptly corrected online through the issuance of an erratum or republishing the corrected article.

Author Name Change Policy

EJMCR recognizes that authors may need to request a name change on previously published articles due to personal or professional reasons. To facilitate this, EJMCR will consider such requests upon receipt of legal documentation verifying the author's identity. Authors wishing to update their name on published articles should contact the editorial office with the article details and the required documentation. This service incurs a processing fee, and upon verification, EJMCR will amend the author’s name in the online version of the article, ensuring that all metadata, citations, and indexing records are updated. For further assistance, please contact the editorial team.


If a more serious issue arises, such as the need for a retraction, authors should notify the relevant journal editor. The editor will conduct an investigation to determine the appropriate course of action, adhering to established COPE guidelines.

Allegations of Research Misconduct

Any allegations of research misconduct should be directed to the relevant journal editor. The editor will undertake a thorough investigation and take appropriate action, guided by COPE's recommended procedures.

Misconduct by Staff or Editors

Allegations of misconduct involving staff or editors should be reported directly to the publisher. The publisher will conduct a comprehensive inquiry and implement necessary measures in accordance with established publishing standards.
This policy aims to uphold the integrity and quality of our publications, ensuring that any errors or misconduct are addressed with transparency and accountability.
