Article Corrections

Corrections (Erratum, Corrigendum, Addendum) shall be published in the following issue or as soon as the publisher and author agree to the suggested modifications, whichever comes first, if a mistake is found in an article after publication. Only when a serious error, such as factually incorrect published material, is discovered in the work will the revisions be released. Small adjustments, such as typographical and grammatical errors, that do not materially alter the paper’s meaning or relevance will not be published.

Errata are published when errors are introduced or missed during the editing or production of an article, such as significant typographical errors, mistakes with the numbers or legends on figures or tables, proof corrections that were submitted but not incorporated during the editing process, or inaccurate information in the author’s address or email.

When flaws are found by the authors after the work has been published that threaten the validity of the scientific content, its correctness, and its reproducibility, corrigenda are reported.

If the writers accidentally left out any important material while submitting the manuscript and decide to add this information to the article after it has been published, addenda are published. Peer review will be conducted on any addendum material before it is accepted by the editor.
