Corrections
Accuracy includes making material errors visible and repairing the published record without obscuring what changed.
-
Assess the error
A correction is warranted when a factual error, omission, or misleading formulation materially changes how a reasonable reader understands the article.
-
Repair the article
The article is updated promptly once the accurate replacement is established. Cosmetic edits that do not change meaning may be made without a formal note.
-
Leave useful context
A material correction states what changed and why when that context helps readers evaluate the record.
