Emma Jonson Is an erratum bad?
An erratum is not a bad thing, per se. Errors happen, and if you fix them it’s fine. The error you describe are totally normal and I would even guess that a large fraction of published paper contains this type of error and does not have an erratum.
How do you write Errata?
The correction notice should contain the following elements:
- the article title.
- the names of all authors, exactly as they appear in the published article.
- the full journal name.
- the year, volume number, issue number, page numbers, and DOI of the article being corrected.
How do you reference an updated article?
Use the authors of the article as the authors in the reference. For the year in the reference, use the year listed after “this topic last updated.” For the title, use the title of the article. Use the name of the deputy editor(s) for the article as the editor(s) of the reference work.
What to do if you see a typo in an article?
If you notice a typo, first determine whether the article was published that way or whether that’s a mistake in the database record only. (If so, let us know, and we’ll correct the record!)

The equation numbers should be enclosed by parentheses and placed at the right-hand side of the page. If you are referring to an equation in the text, use eq. (3) (or other abbreviations). If it is the first word in a sentence, capitalize it, i.e., Eq. (3).
