PLOS Climate: A Peer-Reviewed Open-Access Journal

Corrections, Expressions of Concern, and Retractions

PLOS publishes three types of post-publication notice: Corrections

Expressions of Concern (EOCs)

Retraction notices As discussed below, we use these notices to address: Errors that impact an article’s interpretation or indexing

Concerns about compliance with journal standards and policies

Concerns that have implications for the integrity, reliability, and/or validity of published PLOS articles In addressing issues raised about PLOS publications, we uphold our journals’ policies, publication criteria, and editorial standards, and we follow ICMJE and COPE guidelines, where applicable. The PLOS Publication Ethics team works in collaboration with journal editors on post-publication cases that involve serious ethics or integrity concerns, including those for which the issues may warrant an Expression of Concern or retraction. Notifying PLOS of concerns about submitted or published work If you wish to notify PLOS of an error in your publication that may warrant a correction, please email the journal directly with the relevant details (article citation & DOI, description of the error).

that may warrant a correction, please email the journal directly with the relevant details (article citation & DOI, description of the error). If you wish to notify PLOS of concerns pertaining to the integrity, validity, or reliability of a PLOS article, please email the PLOS Publication Ethics team at [email protected] and cc the journal. Include in your email the full citation and DOI of the article in question and details as to your specific concerns.

Corrections We publish corrections to address errors in PLOS articles if, per our editorial assessment, all of the following criteria have been met: The errors impact the main contents or understanding of the article.

The article's overall results and conclusions are upheld.

There are no concerns about the integrity or reliability of the reported work. PLOS may also publish a correction to address an error that affects key aspects of the publication’s metadata (e.g., misspelling of an author's name, or errors in the competing interests, funding, or data availability statement). In most cases, a correction notice will appear as a post-publication notice linked to the original PLOS article. In rare cases, PLOS may choose to republish a corrected version of an article, replacing the original online version. When we republish an article, we generally publish an accompanying correction notice that is linked to the article and documents the changes. PLOS does not publish corrections for typographical errors or other minor issues that do not substantively impact the article’s scientific integrity, understanding, or indexing. For these issues, authors are encouraged to update readers by posting comments on their article’s webpage. See the Comments guidelines for more information. Please email the journal office if you have questions about whether a correction or comment should be used to address an error in a PLOS article.

Expressions of Concern Expressions of Concern (EOCs) are notices published at editors’ discretion to alert readers of serious concerns about published work. In most cases, we will complete the case’s follow-up before publishing a notice, but in some instances we may publish an EOC as an interim notice while PLOS or another entity is investigating an issue. An EOC may also be used as a resolution to a post-publication case if we reach the conclusion of our follow-up process and issues remain unresolved. EOCs are written by PLOS staff and/or the journal’s Editor(s)-in-Chief or Executive Editor. When published, an EOC is posted at the top of the article’s PLOS webpage and linked to the article’s publication record, similar to a correction. An EOC not change the publication status of the linked research article. After an EOC is published, the same article may be corrected or retracted, or the EOC itself may be corrected or retracted, depending on the editors’ assessment of information, data, and/or materials received in subsequent discussions. PLOS attempts to notify the authors of the affected article before publishing an EOC, but we do not require the authors’ approval or agreement. The editor may seek to publish data or other materials received from the authors as supporting files with an EOC; in such cases, authors are consulted and can elect not to have their files/materials published.
