The version of an article published online is considered the final and complete version. While it is possible to correct this version, our policy, like that of many other publishers, is to do so only in very limited circumstances.

We can only correct typographical errors in the following areas: author names, affiliations, article titles, abstracts, and keywords. In such cases, an erratum or corrigendum may also be necessary to document the difference between the online and print versions.

Corrections can be made to your article if there is a serious error affecting scientific accuracy or if the error impacts your reputation or that of the journal. We do not publish corrections for issues that do not materially affect the content or significantly impair the reader's understanding, such as minor spelling or grammatical errors.

If you need any corrections, please email us at jaai.editor@fcsresearch.org.

Errata

An erratum is issued if a significant error is introduced during the production of the journal article—one that affects the publication record, the scientific integrity of the paper, or the reputation of the authors or the journal. This includes errors of omission, such as failing to implement factual corrections requested by the authors within the provided deadline and according to journal policy.

We do not publish errata for minor typographical errors unless the error is significant (for example, an incorrect unit). Significant errors in figures or tables are corrected by republishing a new, corrected version as an erratum. The figure or table is republished only if deemed necessary by the editor.

Corrigenda

A corrigendum is a notification of a significant error made by the authors in the original article. All authors must sign off on any corrigenda submitted for publication.

In cases where co-authors disagree on the correction, the editors will seek advice from independent peer reviewers and implement the appropriate amendment, noting any dissenting authors in the published version.

Addenda

An addendum is a peer-reviewed addition of information to a paper, typically in response to a reader's request for clarification. Addenda do not contradict the original publication, but if the author inadvertently omitted significant information available at the time, this material can be published as an addendum after peer review.

Addenda are published rarely and only when deemed crucial by the editors for the reader's understanding of a significant part of the published work.
