Our approach
Sageweb aims to correct meaningful errors promptly and transparently. Scientific content can become inaccurate because of an editorial mistake, a misinterpretation, newly available evidence, a corrected source or a retracted publication.
What may be corrected
Corrections may include factual errors, inaccurate dates or identifiers, incorrect descriptions of methods or findings, broken or misdirected references, material omissions that change the interpretation, and wording that overstates the available evidence.
Minor edits
Spelling, grammar, formatting and other changes that do not alter meaning may be fixed without a formal correction note.
Substantive corrections
When a change materially affects the meaning of an article or resource page, the content should be updated and an appropriate note may be added explaining what was changed. The goal is to preserve an accurate record without leaving readers with information known to be wrong.
Retractions and source changes
If a source used by Sageweb is retracted, corrected or subject to an expression of concern, affected content should be reviewed. The appropriate response may range from updating a citation to revising or removing a claim.
How to report an issue
Readers who identify a potential factual or sourcing error can contact Sageweb through the Contact page. Helpful reports include the page URL, the statement in question and a source or explanation supporting the correction.
