If an article is published with errors, then a corrected version of the article will need to be published. Broadly speaking, errors are classed as ”major” or ”minor”.
If a major error has occurred, then a corrected version of the article is published and is linked to a separate correction notice article (see Related Articles for more information). A footnote is added to the first page of the article PDF containing the following text that should include a DOI link to the correction notice:
This article was originally published with errors, which have now been corrected in the online version. Please see Correction https://doi.org/[insert DOI]
If a minor error has occurred, then a separate correction notice article is not required. Instead, the article is corrected, and a footnote is added to the first page of the article PDF containing the following text:
This article has been corrected with minor changes. These changes do not impact the academic content of the article.
The correction statement should be tagged in a backmatter notes section using a <sec> element within a <notes> element within the <back> element of the article. The section should be assigned an attribute sec-type="correction-notice-major" for a major correction or sec-type="correction-notice-minor" for a minor correction. This special section should be given the <title> “Correction Statement”.
In some cases the correction statement may be tagged as a footnote instead of as a section (although tagging as a backmatter notes section is preferred). In such cases, the footnote should be assigned an attribute fn-type="correction-notice-major" for major corrections or fn-type="correction-notice-minor" for minor corrections.
Note 1: The attribute value correction-notice may be used for correction notices that are not classed as major or minor.
Note 2: Previously, the attribute value correction-statement was used for both minor and major corrections.
A correction statement for a major correction should be tagged as a backmatter notes section using the DOI of the correction notice.

The separate correction notice article should be to the corrected article using a related-article link. See Related Articles for more information.
A correction statement for a minor correction should be tagged as a backmatter notes section.
