→WikiErratum/WikiCorrigendum/WikiImproperCitations (Corrections)
| Line 15: | Line 15: | ||
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. | An erratum and a corrigendum slightly differ from each other although their final goal is very similar, i.e. to provide minor corrections.

ImproperCitations are citations 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. | ImproperCitations are citations not accurate towards someone's publication. For example, let us assume you have written an article (A) and someone later in time wrote an article (B) that cites your paper. Now let us assume this 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 and explain. Consequently, we bring this database to support the indication or the rectification of citations that are not correct. | ||
