When errors or instances of misconduct are identified post-publication, appropriate actions must be taken to correct the literature. This includes corrections for honest errors and retractions for more serious issues like fabrication or plagiarism.
Corrections are issued when minor errors that do not undermine the overall findings of a study are discovered. These might include typographical mistakes, errors in data presentation, or other inaccuracies that do not affect the study’s conclusions. Authors are responsible for promptly notifying SPARK Health’s Editorial Team if they identify errors in their published work. The correction will be published in a subsequent issue of the journal, clearly linked to the original article.
