Journal paper published without correction of errors I notified a journal prior to publication that there were errors in a paper. This was submitted around 3 weeks ago, the review process was quick. On Thursday I was given 24 hours to make a list of corrections to the final version I was sent. These were done but then I noticed a few errors after and emailed a revised version along with a document outlining and explaining changes. I had an email today to say the paper has been published (early access version) but its the version with the errors.
The email states changes to text can no longer be made. But they published this after I notified them of errors. This seems to have been rushed.
I emailed back within a few minutes of getting this email today but I expect I won't get a response until Monday now, so I have a weekend of worrying. I didn't expect the paper to be published at a weekend, it makes communication more difficult.
What is likely to happen now? Are changes likely or will these be denied?
I didn't see the version after they made edits, which their communication led me to believe I would, particularly as they were asking me to make a lot of changes. Nonetheless I emailed them before this was published to correct errors. It puts me off publishing with that particular journal again.
You have probably done all you can do at the moment. What the journal is willing to do is up to them.
But it may be that the &quot;early access&quot; version can't/won't be changed but a later final version will have the corrections.
Longer term, if you still have issues with the errors it may be possible to at least have an errata page published.
