Corrections and Retractions: Upgrading the Scientific Record

In progress

Scientific knowledge builds and expands on previous scientific results. Publication of peer-reviewed scientific articles is the process by which results are shared with the scientific community and others. The advancement of scientific knowledge relies on the accuracy of the findings reported in the scientific literature. Ideally, when errors are identified in a published article, corrections would be quickly and transparently addressed and resolved. This consensus study will recommend improvements to the processes used to correct errors in scientific articles. The study committee will examine international practices, as the scientific research enterprise is global.
