Korrigeringene

Korrigeringene is a Norwegian term meaning “the corrections.” It is the definite plural form of korrigering and refers to changes made to fix errors or inaccuracies in a wide range of contexts.

The term is used across several fields. In publishing, korrigeringene may denote a list of corrections issued to fix typos, factual mistakes, or other errors in a new edition, reprint, or updated online version. In journalism, a newspaper or magazine might publish korrigeringene as part of a correction notice or erratum to address information that appeared incorrectly in a previous issue. In science and data management, korrigeringene describe adjustments or recalculations made to measurements, datasets, or statistical results to improve accuracy or reliability. In mapping and geospatial work, korrigeringene can refer to updates that correct coordinates, boundaries, or other geographic data.

While korrigeringene is widely understood as corrections, it is not interchangeable with all related terms. Endringer often covers broader amendments and changes beyond error correction, and rettelser or korrigeringer may be used in more limited or formal editing contexts. The specific use of korrigeringene depends on discipline and tradition, but the core idea remains consistent: revising something to restore truthfulness or precision.

Etymologically, korrigering originates from the word korrigere, itself derived from Latin or French roots meaning to correct. In Norwegian, korrigeringene thus sit within a family of terms related to accuracy and editorial revision.
