What if there is a mistake in published paper?
Since the error can be misleading, it is best to inform the journal about it. You can write to the journal mentioning the error, the correction, and how it can impact your paper. The journal will then either update the online version or add a note, comment, or erratum.
What are the mistakes in published work?
Mistakes in Published Paper
Unintentional errors include those associated with data collection or classification, statistical analysis, information that cannot be verified by a peer reviewer, typographical errors and misspellings, or labeling a figure as “on the right” or “on the left” when the opposite is true.
Should you publish a scientific paper with grammatical errors?
Grammatical perfection is not required for acceptance. However, grammatical errors are distracting to read, and if frequent enough can make the paper difficult to understand. Reviewers may be harsher in their opinions of a paper that is difficult to read.
