尽管最初的名称建议不满足所有要求,但偶尔会尝试根据国际原核生物命名法(ICNP)对原核生物分类单元的名称进行验证。在这种情况下,更正的出版是必要的,但作者必须确保更正包含相应分类单元的完整描述。对原始文章的修改与ICNP不兼容。有效公布的一个要求是有效公布分类单元名称构成永久记录。出版后修改文章的期刊不能作为有效出版物的来源。
The validation of the name of a prokaryotic taxon under the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes (ICNP) is occasionally attempted although the original proposal of the name does not meet all requirements. The publication of a corrigendum is necessary in such a case but authors must ensure that the corrigendum contains the full description of the respective taxon. The modification of the original article is not compatible with the ICNP. One requirement for valid publication is that the effective publication of a taxon name constitutes a permanent record. Journals which modify articles after publication are not acceptable as a source of effective publications.
