The Afrocentric Legal Review (ALR) recognizes the importance of maintaining an accurate and reliable scholarly record.
An erratum is used to correct an error introduced during the publication process that does not substantially affect the scholarly conclusions of an article.
A corrigendum is used when an author identifies a significant error or omission in a published article that requires correction.
Authors who identify an error in a published article should contact the editorial office with details of the error and the proposed correction.
The journal will assess the matter and, where appropriate, publish a clearly identified correction linked to the original article.
Corrections will be made transparently without unnecessarily altering the original scholarly record.
Where a serious problem fundamentally affects the validity or integrity of a published article, the journal may consider an expression of concern or retraction in accordance with applicable publication-ethics principles.
