01In brief

The short answer.

Corrections and concerns is the Climate and Nature Governance route for challenging a finding, reporting an error or raising a privacy or safeguarding concern about its work on climate and hazards. Each report receives a reference and is reviewed, where possible, by someone not involved in the work; the outcome is a published new version with its history, or a reasoned decline.

How a correction moves on Climate and Nature GovernanceA report is acknowledged and triaged; a reviewer not involved in the original work assesses it; the outcome is a new version with its history or a reasoned decline, and the reporter is told either way. Design of the workflow, not a record.

03Geography

People and exposure in the Andes.

For corrections and concerns, in GRF's situational-awareness reading, the map opens on population density, land cover and vegetation, framed on the Andes; 3 further NASA layers wait in the list.

The interactive map needs JavaScript; the layer list and sources are below.

Terms used on this page.

Each term as this page uses it. Where a standard-setting body defines the term, the wording follows that body.

TermDefinition
CorrectionA published notice that amends an error in a work whose main findings stand.
RetractionThe formal withdrawal of a published article by the journal, used when findings are unreliable or the work involved misconduct, following guidance such as COPE's.
Expression of concernA notice a journal publishes when it has doubts about an article while an investigation is under way.
Silent editA change to a published record made without a new version, notice or date.
06Process

What happens next.

  1. 01

    Acknowledgement

  2. 02

    Review

    The concern is reviewed by someone not involved in the original work, where possible.

  3. 03

    Outcome

    A correction is published as a new version with its history; a declined challenge receives reasons.
