Correcting the scholarly record, and dispelling myths around corrections​.

A core part of publication ethics is that when published research is affected by errors or misconduct, this must be corrected. This webinar aims to explain both the process of fixing errors and misconceptions about corrections, focusing on journal articles, and answering the questions:
Who decides what needs to be corrected?
What are the responsibilities of editors, journals, research institutions, and authors?
How are corrections done and what form do they take?
How do readers know when work has been corrected?
What are the barriers to correcting the scholarly literature - and, hopefully, the solutions to these problems?
Our expert speakers will draw on their experience in handling corrections and developing editorial policies.
