When a minor error is noted in a scientific article, the publishing journal should issue a correction. Issuing an expression of concern is relevant when scientific misconduct is suspected. If the suspicion proves to be well founded, the journal should retract the article. The number of retractions is increasing, and this emphasizes the need for unequivocal concepts and guidelines. The reason a given article is corrected or retracted should be unambiguous and articles as well as notices should be indexed properly.
当在一篇科学文章中发现小错误时，发表该文章的期刊应发布勘误。当怀疑存在科学不端行为时，发布关注声明是恰当的。如果怀疑被证明有充分依据，期刊应撤回该文章。撤回的文章数量在增加，这凸显了明确的概念和指导方针的必要性。某篇文章被更正或撤回的原因应清晰明确，文章及相关通知都应正确索引。
