closeTypos and Formatting Errors in Published Version But Not in Final Submitted Manuscript
Posted by geokush on 20 Sep 2013 at 03:55 GMT
The following typos and formatting errors emerged during the article's production. None were present in the final version of the manuscript that I submitted, a fact that I evidence by making that document available:

Further, there was no way for me to head off the errors before publication because, as many of you are aware, PLoS ONE does not offer manuscript proofing. I've informed the production staff and I hope they will fix the errors. I was told, in the meantime, to post corrections here:
1. All references to the "Time" and "Illness" questions were capitalized and italicized in the final version of the manuscript that I submitted. Throughout the published version, "Illness" is formatted correctly but "Time" is not.
2. In the final version of the manuscript that I submitted, the proper nouns "Karo" and "Lasma" are spelled correctly in the Acknowledgements. In the published version, the spelling is "karo" and "lasma" which is incorrect.
3. In the final version of the manuscript that I submitted, the specific predictions in the Hypotheses section are listed as bullet points. In the published versions, the bullet points are incorrectly formatted as dots with no spaces following them.
