Errata, retraction, clarifications and apologies 

The response to a published error depends on the nature of the error and the person or organization reporting the problem.  When a lack of research is detected, the editors have the duty to inform the editorial board so that the necessary measures are taken: retractions, corrections, apologies, clarifications. Editors and writers should always be ready to publish corrections, clarifications, retractions and apologies when necessary.

For peer-reviewed content, error types can be classified as:

Errata: If the journal makes a significant error that may affect the authors' work or reputation, the published notification is called an errata.  Correction of errors: If the author or authors make a major error, all authors must approve and sign corrections (correction document) or the journal should be informed of their dissenting opinions.
Retraction: If the results are not valid, all co-authors must sign a retraction explaining the error and how it affected the conclusions.  This will be sent for publication and is the most consistent type of error.
Annex: If additional information is published on an article, it may include an editorial concern. Attached to documents which the personal editor considers require further explanation for their comprehension. Upon receipt of the communication to the editor, the Editorial Committee is convened to take a joint decision on the resulting measure, which, when decreed, is communicated to the author and carried out as soon as possible.

All determinations are made while maintaining the integrity and prestige of the journal and its authors. JM&BS is guided by the COPE standards when developing these processes in editorial practice.
