At the Modern College of Business and Science (MCBS), we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of accuracy, accountability, and professionalism in all our communications and publications. Recognizing that errors can occur, we have established a clear and transparent procedure to address them promptly and effectively.


1. Identification of Errors
Errors in published materials, whether online or in print, may be identified through:

  • Internal Review: Regular checks conducted by editors, faculty, or administrative staff.
  • External Feedback: Reports from students, stakeholders, or the general public via designated feedback channels.

2. Verification Process
Once an error is reported:

  • Initial Assessment: The responsible department reviews the report to determine the validity and scope of the issue.
  • Consultation: If necessary, the matter is discussed with subject matter experts or relevant stakeholders to confirm the error.

3. Types of Corrections
The corrective action depends on the nature and severity of the error:

  • Minor Errors: Typographical or formatting issues that do not impact the overall meaning or integrity of the content are corrected without issuing a formal notification.
  • Significant Errors: Factual inaccuracies, misrepresentations, or misleading content require formal acknowledgment through a correction or retraction.

4. Publishing Corrections or Retractions

  • Location of Correction:
    • Online: Corrections are updated on the website or digital platform where the original content was published, with a note indicating the change.
    • Print: A correction notice is included in the subsequent issue or publication.
  • Transparency in Updates:
    • Corrections are clearly labeled to distinguish them from the original content.
    • Retractions, if necessary, include a detailed explanation of the error and why the content is being withdrawn.

5. Communication with Stakeholders
For errors that significantly affect stakeholders:

  • Direct Notification: Affected parties are informed through appropriate channels, such as email or official announcements.
  • Apology Statement: When warranted, MCBS issues a formal apology emphasizing our commitment to accuracy and accountability.

6. Continuous Improvement
To minimize future errors:

  • Training: Regular workshops and training sessions are conducted for faculty, staff, and students on publishing standards and fact-checking.
  • Quality Control: Strengthened editorial and review processes ensure all content is thoroughly vetted before publication.
