Overview
An error found in a PubMed record can be corrected, but whether the correction can be made by the publisher depends on the publication status of the citation in question and whether the error also occurred in the original version of the article (print or online).
Publishers can correct errors ONLY if the citation has the publication status [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]. Citations with the publication status [PubMed - in process], [PubMed - Indexed for MEDLINE], [PubMed] and [PubMed - OLDMEDLINE for Pre1966] can ONLY be corrected by NLM staff.
Errors that also appeared in the original version of the article cannot be corrected until an Erratum is issued in an upcoming issue of the journal. Please see NLM's Errata, Retraction, Duplicate Publication, and Comment Policy Fact Sheet for more information.
All PubMed citations display a Publication Status Tag. There are five possible Publication Status Tags:
King K, Rubin G.
A history of diabetes: from antiquity to discovering
insulin.
Br J Nurs. 2003 Oct 22; 12(18):1091-1095.
PMID: 14581842 [PubMed - as supplied
by publisher]
Citations in this stage appear exactly as the publisher provided them. Errors can be corrected by sending a revised file containing <Replaces> tags with PMID. Please see our Instructions for Replacement Files for details.
Yang SW, Yang KM, Kang HY, Kim TS.
Intranuclear cytoplasmic pseudoinclusions in pituitary
adenomas.
Yonsei Med J. 2003 Oct; 44(5):816-20.
PMID: 14584097 [PubMed - in process]
Citations in this stage are in the process of data review at the NLM. Errors cannot be corrected with a Replacement File. If the error in the citation is correct in the print version (or online version, if an e-journal) of the article, it will likely be revised by NLM Indexers during this stage. Please allow a few weeks for the completed citation to appear in the database.
