I downloaded the yeast- CO2 mosquito attractants paper pub. Sept 2017 and found it has a number of typographic errors. The Kline publication (2007) is cited 2 times as #14 and #24. It would be good to fix this and a number of other errors. I cannot figure out how to email Dr. Aziz Muhammed directly through RG or I would do so.
It is never too late to correct mistakes! Contact the editor ASAP and request the change. Is this a database or an article? Is it already published? The worst that can happen is you get an "Erratum" published after the actual pub goes out. At any rate - you need to act as quickly as you can! Look up the author on Google Scholar or track him/her down on the internet. Good luck!
There is always a possibility to correct the mistakes. You should contact to journal manager or editor to inform the changes. This can be later published as Erratum.
But in my opinion, changes in the reference is not substantial as it is not going to affect the scientific quality of the an article.
No, I am not an author. I have written papers on the subject, edited many more. So browsed this particular PLOS paper, finding a number of errors. I also wrote the corresponding author.
