Correction of figure in galley proofs in Elsevier journal I have submitted the final manuscript after it got accepted, but I just found one error in the figures. The mistake is copying overlap two figures (2 similar figures). This mistake did not occur in the first and second submissions for reviewing and answering revision. Hence, may I change this figures in galley proofs?



This is my mistake. This change does not affect the content of the paper. I have not yet received the online proofing version. Hence, should I wait to correct it in the galley proofs? or should I resend the correction version now?
Is the error trivial (i.e. does not need to be peer reviewed, no reasonable person would object) or not? If it is trivial, then don't worry about it now and correct it during galley proofs. A sufficiently obvious error might even be spotted by the publisher when they do copyediting. If it is not trivial then let the editor know, since they might need to get the reviewer to check it again.
