Corrections

We try hard not to make mistakes, but errors—both by editors and authors—do creep into the journal. We publish corrections when necessary, and, to ensure that corrections are handled consistently, one technical editor deals with them all.

We correct even minor mistakes, and we set no time limit for notifying errors or publishing corrections. We always try to contact the author of the original article unless the error is very obvious, and we publish all corrections as soon as we can.

If your article is published on the website (www.londonjournalofprimarycare.org) as an Online First (where we publish the article quickly online and subsequently in print), and you discover a mistake between online and print publication we will normally correct this by making the article correct in the printed version and by reposting a new version of the article at the time of print publication. Only in exceptional circumstances will we publish a corrected version of an article between online and print publication.

In the print journal we publish corrections either singly in the relevant section or, more usually, grouped together in a box of "Corrections and clarifications". We indicate in red that an article has a correction and provide a direct link to it.

If you want further advice about our policy or would like to notify us about the need for a specific correction please email. Please give as much detail as possible about errors, including any views on how they might have arisen.
