Correction Policy for the NLM Technical Bulletin on the Web

Correction Policy for the NLM Technical Bulletin on the Web. NLM Technical Bulletin. 1998 Jan–Feb;(300):e1.

January 1998 [posted]

Errata will be handled in the following way for future issues of the Technical Bulletin. When an error is recognized, the original error will be reprinted and the correct data will be given in a Technical Note. Beginning with the January-February 1997 issue (the first issue on the web) the data will be corrected in the article followed by the tag [corrected yyyy/mm/dd]. The title of the original article will contain the following statement [published erratum appears in the NLM Technical Bulletin. yyyy Month-Month;(issue no): document number]. The document number on the NLM Technical Bulletin on the Web will be in the format of e1, e2 and represent a specific article within an issue. Articles will be numbered in the order in which they are made available and usually the Technical Notes will be e1 for any given issue. This numbering of articles begins with January-February 1998 issue; 1997 issues although they appear on the Web were originally published in print and do not have the new electronic pagination convention.

This policy is modeled on the way errata are handled in citations in MEDLINE. After an erratum has been corrected, the only remaining record of the incorrect information will be in the Technical Note. There will be links from the Technical Note to the original article and from the article title to the Technical Note.
