[PDF] Erratum to - BioMed Central

When should erratum be published?

Errata may be published to correct or add text or information that appears anywhere within an earlier published article. Errata must be labeled and published in citable form; that is, the erratum must appear on a numbered page in an issue of the journal that published the original article.

What is an erratum notice in PubMed?

If the erratum involves correction of a portion of the article that is not included in the NLM citation, such as the text, graphs, or tables, the erratum notice is simply linked to the citation for the corrected article. For more information on errata in PubMed, please see PubMed help.

What is an example of an erratum?

Design errors and mistakes in a microprocessor's hardwired logic may also be documented and described as errata. One well-publicized example is Intel's "FDIV" erratum in early Pentium processors, known as the Pentium FDIV bug.
