- Abstract
Toward fulfilling the aspirational goal of science as self-correcting: A call for editorial courage and diligence for error correction Rather, correction depends on individual scientists behaving in accordance with the self-correction norm.[1] Some authors have suggested that failure to correct certain errors be considered scientific misconduct.[2] But when serious errors are found, our experience suggests that corrections are not always expeditious, thorough, clear and open. Most, but not all, journals waive fees for publishing correspondence related to error correction and do not charge authors for retractions.[4] More commonly, correspondence may be paywalled. An error is an error... is an erratum: the ethics of not correcting errors in the science literature.
