Usage
This template is used to mark citations with errata/corrigenda. Using
Smith, J. (2008). "Foobar." ''Journal of Barfoo''. '''5''':12. {{erratum|doi=10.1234/0123456789}}
gives
- Smith, J. (2008). "Foobar." Journal of Barfoo. 5:12. (Erratum: doi:10.1234/0123456789Template:Only in print. If the erratum has been checked and does not affect the cited material, please replace
{{Erratum|...}}with{{Erratum|...|checked=yes}}.)
If the errata does not affect the relevant material (e.g. a correction to author names and affiliated, a correction that affects a passage unrelated to the material supported by the citation), then use
{{retracted|doi=10.1234/0123456789|checked=yes}}
which gives
- Smith, J. (2008). "Foobar." Journal of Barfoo. 5:12. (Erratum: doi:10.1234/0123456789Template:Only in print)
If the errata affects the relevant material, then update the article accordingly before marking the erratum as checked.
The erratum supports the identifier links |bibcode= (for bibcodes), |doi= (for DOIs), |pmc= (for PMCIDs), and |pmid= (for PMIDs) are supported.
The template works with citation templates too, for example
*{{cite journal |last1=Kanadia |first1=RN |last2=Cepko |first2=CL |date=1 February 2010 |title=Alternative splicing produces high levels of noncoding isoforms of bHLH transcription factors during development |journal=Genes & Development |volume=24 |issue=3 |pages=229-34 |doi=10.1101/gad.1847110 |pmid=20080942}} {{errated|pmid=21685368|chcked=yes}}
gives
- Kanadia, RN; Cepko, CL (1 February 2010). "Alternative splicing produces high levels of noncoding isoforms of bHLH transcription factors during development". Genes & Development. 24 (3): 229–34. doi:10.1101/gad.1847110. PMID 20080942. Template:Retracted
Do not use this template in the fields of citation templates such as Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2, as the HTML markup will be rendered in the metadata for that field.
Cleanup category
Pages containing this template will be placed in the category Category:Articles citing publications with errata, unless the citations are marked as intentional. Ideally this category should be empty.
