Corrections & Retractions
Keeping the published record accurate, traceable, and useful to readers.
Protecting the scholarly record
Authors should notify the editor when they discover a significant error in their published work and cooperate in resolving it. Readers may also report concerns. Action should be proportionate to the evidence and the effect on the reliability of the article.
How different concerns may be addressed
Correction
Appropriate for a limited error when the central findings remain reliable. The affected material and its correction should be identifiable.
Expression of concern
May alert readers to a serious unresolved issue while evidence or an institutional investigation is still incomplete.
Retraction
May be appropriate when findings are unreliable or serious problems such as plagiarism, unethical research, or compromised peer review undermine the publication.
Clarity & traceability
COPE recommends that retraction notices identify the article, state the reasons and who is retracting it, and link to the affected publication. Notices should be factual and accessible. Retraction serves to correct the literature and may result from major honest error as well as misconduct.
The published record should clearly show the relationship between an article and a notice so readers can identify its status. A disagreement about authorship alone does not necessarily establish that the findings are unreliable.
