Corrections

A journal that publishes factual claims will eventually print one that needs a second look, and the corrections policy is written before it is needed rather than after.

How corrections work

A correction is published on this page, with the issue it concerns named and the change stated plainly. The corrected issue itself is not edited silently: it gains an Updated line in its header, so the archive keeps the sequence of what was printed and when. Corrections live on this page permanently, in date order, because a journal’s value is in its record being trustworthy rather than in its record being tidy.

Corrections so far

None. This page carries the policy and will carry any corrections above this line as they arise.
