Home: Difference between revisions

An erratum and a corrigendum slightly differ from each other although their final goal is very similar, i.e. to provide minor corrections. 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.

ImproperCitations are basically citations that are not accurate towards someone's publication. For example, let us assume you have written an article (A) and someone wrote an article (B) that cites your paper. The citation piece says that you did or did not generated some data (or method, or anything), but this information is not accurate for a number of reasons that the author of a paper being cited can very easily know. Consequently, we bring this database to support rectification of citation that are not correct.
