Sažetak
Journal editors are responsible for the integrity of the published record and must correct it when necessary. They are getting better at this job, as evidenced by journal retraction policies and numbers of article retractions. Most retractions are due to misconduct, but about 20% are retracted because of an unintentional error or methodological flaw. To credit the correction of an honest error and avoid stigmatisation of authors, journals have begun a practice of retraction with republication of a corrected article. The most recent update of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors' (ICMJE) Recommendations introduced this type of correction in cases where “the error is judged to be unintentional, the underlying science appears valid, and the changed version of the paper survives further review and editorial scrutiny, then retraction with republication of the changed paper, with an explanation, allows full correction of the scientific literature”.
