Post-publication discussions and corrections

Paraphrased Post-Publication Discussions and Corrections for SETS:

Engaging with Published Work:

SETS encourages ongoing discussion of articles through post-publication comments on its website and emails to the Editor. The journal also has mechanisms for addressing any inaccuracies or issues after publication.

Correcting Published Errors:

Erratum: For significant, accuracy-impacting mistakes like incorrect figures, omissions, or factual errors in results or conclusions, SETS publishes separate erratum articles. These errors must be serious enough to affect the scientific content and understanding of the work.

Correction Notice: For less impactful errors affecting content comprehension or publication metadata (e.g., data presentation errors, author name misspelling), SETS issues a correction notice linked to the original article. Authors are responsible for informing the editors of any discovered errors in their published work.

Exceptional Removals:

In rare cases, SETS may remove a paper from its website if:

• It contains libelous or false information about research or researchers.
• It infringes upon someone’s intellectual property, privacy, or other legal rights.
• It presents an immediate and serious safety or integrity risk if acted upon.

Adding New Information:

Addendum: If authors need to update or add vital information after publication that doesn’t contradict the original article or fix errors (which require correction notices), they can submit an addendum. These may be peer-reviewed and supervised by the original article’s Editor.
