Characteristic analysis on correction notices of Chinese scientific journals under the background of high-quality development
[Purposes]This paper aims to study correction notice characteristic of Chinese scientific journals,so as to provide a reference for promoting the high-quality development of journals and purifying academic environment.[Methods]This study studied 448 correction notices from 143 Chinese scientific journals between 2020 and 2022.Five factors were taken into account,including inclusion ratio,correction time lag,correction reasons,download and citation,and severity of errors.A total of 484 articles were analyzed.[Findings]The inclusion ratio of correction notices on CNKI,Wanfang,and journal official websites is not high except VIP.On average,corrections are published 256 days after the original article.The main types of corrected errors are author information,funds information,and figures.91.5%of corrected errors are not major.[Conclusions]The subject liability of 88.4%article correction is the author,and strengthening author self-check can significantly reduce errors in the article.Journals can generate a reverse-driven effect through standard and columnized correction systems and should prevent improper correction.Chinese journal databases should improve the discoverability and traceability of the correction,promote the inclusion of correction notices,and make them available to the public.
