Ace paper after correction to be published (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

appear

'be published' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'ace paper after correction' is the wordplay.
'ace' becomes 'a'.
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'correction' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'a'+'paper'='apaper'
'apaper' is an anagram of 'APPEAR'.

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for appear that I've seen before include "hove in sight" , "Show up like ghost" , "Make an entrance as ghost may" , "Come on the market" , "Arrive" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
