Korjauslista

Korjauslista is a Finnish term that translates to "correction list" or "errata" in English. It is a document or list that details errors discovered in a published work, such as a book, article, software program, or even a set of instructions. The purpose of a korjauslista is to inform readers or users about these inaccuracies and provide the correct information or instructions.

Typically, a korjauslista will specify the location of the error within the original material, often by page number, line number, or section identifier. It then clearly states what the error is and provides the corresponding correction. This ensures that anyone using the original material can refer to the korjauslista to ensure they are working with the most accurate information available.

Korjauslistat are common in academic publishing, technical documentation, and software development. For books, they might be printed on a separate sheet of paper or included at the beginning or end of later printings. In software, corrections are often distributed through patches, updates, or release notes, which serve a similar function to a traditional korjauslista. The goal is always to maintain the integrity and usefulness of the original content by addressing any identified flaws.
