What is the best way to provide an erratum to the public until the journal publishes it, or if it does not? I published an article in a Springer journal. I consider it to be the basis of all my future research. An editor introduced errors right before publication without asking me and now the article, as it was published Online First, cannot be modified. The EiC offered to publish an erratum with my article two issues from now. He is going to have to find out whether Springer publishes online errata. (Do they?) In the meantime, or if the erratum is never published online, what can be done to make the public aware that that is not a correct version of the article? Would you publish a link to the article with your own erratum in your personal website?
Publish a technical report / preprint without the error.
