Sciencevio protects the scholarly record through correction notices, expressions of concern, retractions, and article updates when needed.

Record Corrections and Retractions

Overview

Post-publication updates keep the scholarly record accurate while preserving transparency about what changed and why.

Correction types

Different notices are used depending on the seriousness and reliability of the affected work.

  • Corrections address errors that do not invalidate the main findings.
  • Expressions of concern may be used while serious issues are investigated.
  • Retractions are used when findings are unreliable or publication ethics were breached.
  • Article updates identify the date, reason, and link to the affected record.

Record management

Sciencevio aims to make notices visible, linked, and discoverable.

  • Original article records remain accessible unless legal or safety reasons require restriction.
  • Notices are linked to article pages and metadata where possible.
  • Authors, readers, editors, or institutions may raise correction requests.
  • Retraction notices explain the reason without unnecessary defamatory detail.
