Hi Kathleen --

Several thoughts:
 - sub-article seems like a good place to put this
 - in addition, I suggest pub-date(s) identifying the correction
   in the sub-article like:
<pub-date pub-type="corrected">
   <string-date>
   <month number="1">January</month> <day>27</day>, <year>2022</year>
   </string-date>
</pub-date>

and in the main article, adding a date to history with the correction date.
Something like:

<history>
  <date date-type="corrected">
    <day>27</day><month>01</month><year>2022</year>
  </date>
</history>

replicate in our HTML presentation a practice we have long used with PDFs -
appending correction notices (errata) to original articles so that they are
immediately available to the reader. An example of such an amended PDF can be
found at https://psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/2021-63321-001.pdf. Our goal in
modifying the HTML presentation to match the PDF presentation is to provide
full context for all users - both humans and machines - as soon as they land
on the original article.

https://psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/2021-63321-001. There are visual cues
indicating to a human reader that a correction has been issued, with links to
the separately published correction. However, our AI Insights feature, which
interrogates the article XML, is not aware of the correction and thus does not
provide the full context of the article to the user in its summary and
responses to user prompts.

and with the <response> and <front-stub> elements excluded. We are thinking of
using the <sub-article> element to bring in the content of the correction
notice, minus the <related-article> element, since that is already present in
the main <article>. This approach does break JATS a bit, since a separately
published correction is not truly a subunit of the original article, but it
was the best approach we could think of given that around 16% of the
correction notices in our backfile contain tables, figures, and/or
appendixes.
