I’ve lamented here that my recent article in Biblical Interpretation seems to have been printed without corrections from the proofs that I marked up. At the International SBL meeting today, I had the chance to talk with both the journal editor and the issue editor, and it turns out that mine was not the only article that was imperfectly edited. It’s a sad thing, and embarrassing to all concerned, but they indicated that they support my concern and they will try to work toward making available at least the corrected digital versions.
How serious were the items you corrected and they did not?
Is this the sort of thing that a journal would print a small “apology” about in a future edition? I mean, if lack of correction could tarnish your image in the community, wouldn’t that be appropriate?
