A new one for me on the editorial side Dear Colleagues:
Some 3-5 years ago, someone else and I submitted a paper that was accepted. I saw the version I assumed was sent to the editor and that was the end of the story. As far as I know from the first author, the paper was published without proofs. The only surprise to the first author and to me was the the second author (= me) was deleted. To me, the obvious solution would have been to contact the editor and request (maybe demand?) an erratum published on the next issue. I requested that to the first author but it was not done. I let it go. Now, the matter has resurfaced (some 3-5 years later) as the first author is submitting a paper to my journal and he is including that paper in the Lit. Cited with my name, as submitted (but not published). My first idea is to, as editor of my journal, tell the editor of the other journal to print the erratum (albeit late but better than never) and add a comment to the entry on the line of the paper indicating the author such and such (= me) was inadvertently omitted from the byline of the paper when originally published. But how if the editor of the other refuses to print the erratum? If you have any thought, please email them to me at blayjo...@gmail.com Apologies for potential duplicate emails.
