Are errata changes crowd-sourced?

How Corrections Are Submitted

Yes and no. Each book page on our website links directly to our errata submission tool, making it easy for instructors and other OpenStax users to let us know if they spot something that may need clarification or correction, and we truly appreciate it when our community takes the time to share feedback with us.

How the Review Process Works

Once a submission is received, it is carefully reviewed by subject matter experts. They evaluate the suggestion to determine whether a revision is needed and appropriate for the text. This process helps us ensure that updates are accurate, thoughtful, and aligned with our academic standards.
