Record the change

A correction should identify the article, the affected statement, the date and the supporting evidence. Silent edits make it harder to understand how the record developed.

Explain the consequence

Distinguish spelling fixes from changes that affect the conclusion. A revised model identifier, market or measurement may require more than a short typo note.

Contact status

This publication does not yet have a connected editorial inbox. The contact page explains which information to prepare before a working channel is configured.

The boundary of the record.

A published statement, its source and a physical measurement are different kinds of evidence. Keep those distinctions attached to your interpretation.
