Coordinated Assessment of Notifications of Trials Containing Overt Published Errors

Overview

Clinical research, like all science, is self-correcting, with errors detected by the scientific community and communicated to the publishing journals, which then relay the information (and its resolution) to its readers. If this relaying process fails, science grinds to a halt. In this study we are testing its integrity.

This prospective study documents the outcome of notification to journal editorial boards (or equivalent authorities) of factually incorrect or inconsistent claims, in reports they have published.
