<p dir="ltr">This is a correction to: P. Schady and others, Comparing emission- and absorption-based gas-phase metallicities in GRB host galaxies at z = 2−4 using JWST, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, Volume 529, Issue 3, April 2024, Pages 2807–2831, https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stae677.</p><p dir="ltr">We found a mistake in our abstract where we accidentally wrote that the host galaxy of GRB 090323 was at z = 4.7 whereas it is in fact at redshift z = 3.58 based on the NIRSpec emission line spectrum of the host galaxy. The redshift of this GRB host galaxy is correctly reported in the rest of the paper. We also found a bug in our code that produces the [O III] λ5007 surface brightness maps of the host galaxies of GRB 050820A and GRB 150403A (figs 1 and 2 of the original paper) that caused the labelled physical pixel scale to be too small by a factor of ∼1.4. This error only affected the axes shown in the figures and has no implications for the rest of the paper. The corresponding pixel-to-kpc conversions have now been corrected and the updated maps are shown in Figs 1 and 2.</p>
