Correction and Retraction

Tinombala: Journal of Social Sciences and Arts Education is committed to maintaining the accuracy, integrity, and transparency of the scholarly record. When errors are identified in a published article that do not invalidate the overall findings or conclusions, a correction (erratum or corrigendum) will be issued to clearly describe and rectify the mistake. The correction will be linked to the original article to ensure that readers are fully informed.

In cases where serious errors, data fabrication, plagiarism, unethical research practices, or other forms of misconduct are discovered that significantly compromise the validity or reliability of the work, the article will be retracted. A retraction notice will be published and linked to the original article, clearly stating the reasons for the retraction, in accordance with international publishing ethics guidelines.

All decisions regarding corrections or retractions are made by the Editor-in-Chief in consultation with the editorial board and, where necessary, the authors and relevant institutions. These procedures are designed to uphold ethical standards and preserve the trust of the scholarly community.
