Corrections Policy Honest errors are a part of science and publishing and require publication of a correction when they are detected. We expect authors to inform the journal’s editor of any errors of fact they have noticed. Corrections are made at the journal’s discretion. As a scientific Publishers, we have a duty to maintain the integrity of the scientific record. For this reason, minor corrections that do not affect the scientific understanding of the paper may be rejected if submitted post-publication in order to prevent discrepancies downstream. The correction procedure depends on the publication stage of the article, but in all circumstances a correction notice is published as soon as possible |
