WikiLetters.org is a dynamical database highlighting and integrating what seems to genuinely support science (directly/indirectly). WikiLetters also supports the advancement of the following services for #BuildingBetterScience:

• Wiki-Letters (Letters of caveats about papers)
• WikiComments (Peer-reviewed Comments about papers
• WikiCitingRetracted (Papers that cited retractions)
• WikiErratum (Minor corrections about papers in the level of Erratum/Corrigendum/Improper-Citation)
• WikiRetracted (Papers retracted from the scientific system)
• WL-Systematic Review SR (a dynamical-method suggested for SR)
• WikiJournal of Science (A scientific journal free and transparent in all levels)
• Scholia (A bridge between Wikidata and Science)
• WikiData (Hosting scientific information under the Wiki-ecosystem)
• WikiCite (Processing Citations that strengthen Wikipedia articles)
• Wikiversity (A bridge between Universities and the Wiki-ecosystem)

Additional very important systems supporting better science

• RetractionWatch (news about retractions)
• PubPeer (notes)

WikiErratum/WikiCorrigendum/WikiImproperCitations (About)

WikiLetters (WikiErratum) is an independent platform supported by WikiLetters. WikiErratum is merged with WikiCorrigendum to support the generation of both components, i.e. erratum and corrigendum. It allows journals, scientists, researchers, students and maybe others to provide corrections to a work which has already been printed. Following the wiki-ecosystem, here you are not required to provide your personal details, and here your submitted corrections becomes available online instantaneously so others can have access to all corrections.

Furthermore, WikiErratum gives you the opportunity to provide corrections and to return at any time to include additional corrections, which is very much in the core of a wiki-ecosystem.

WikiErratum/WikiCorrigendum/WikiImproperCitations (Corrections)

An erratum and a corrigendum slightly differ from each other although their final goal is very similar, i.e. corrections in a manuscript. An erratum is a collection of minor corrections provided by the publisher, whereas a corrigendum is provided by the author(s). All these minor corrections can be easily accessed by any reader via WikiErratum or WikiCorrigendum. However, here we merge both under the same database, i,e, WikiErratum, because they suit the same purpose.

WikiErratum/WikiCorrigendum/WikiImproperCitations (Content contribution and Structure)

Figure 1: Suggested template to provide your Erratum or Corrigendum.

To contribute to WikiErratum is fairly simple, and quite similar to creating a Wikipedia article.

A similar written explanation for consideration:

• Wikipedia explanation

, and a few tutorials for consideration:

• Youtube-tutorial
• Youtube-tutorial
• Youtube-tutorial

You need to initially search for the full title of an article (e.g. TITLE-A) inside WikiErratum to confirm it's non-existence. The confirmation of non-existence would provide you a result displaying the sentence:

Create the page "TITLE-A" on this wiki!

From this point, you are welcome to click over the title in red to create this new information.

Figure 2 Suggested template to provide a correction towards an Improper-Citation.

It is suggested a very simple structure that contains the information about the article receiving minor suggested corrections. See examples below

• WikiErratum (01)

Note: Please consider the very basic headings displayed in Figure-1. However, if you are welcome to include additional headings and sub-headings whenever needed.
