# Energy Corrections

To better model energies across diverse chemical spaces, we apply several adjustments to the total calculated energy of each material. These adjustments fall into two different sets, each of which is described in a different subsection. One set, consisting of anion and GGA/GGA+U mixing scheme corrections, and another consisting of only GGA/GGA+U/r2SCAN mixing scheme corrections. The former is used in the in the current and legacy data, while the latter is only present in releases after the addition of r2SCAN calculations (post `v2022.10.28`). Both of them are used to produce `ComputedStructureEntry` objects, and mixed phase diagrams.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.materialsproject.org/methodology/materials-methodology/thermodynamic-stability/thermodynamic-stability.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
