Checklists such as the one introduced by Nature should be adopted widely, to help guard against the most common research errors.
Repeated records were excluded, along with those where, even after further research, errors of multiple, missing, or unrecognised volcano names could not be corrected.
While research errors are as relevant to the knowledge economy as defects are to the manufacturing economy, mechanisms to identify and signal "defective" or false knowledge are poorly understood.
The blog provides a unique window into the scientific process by highlighting research errors and fraud.
First, although coordinate-based data provide many advantages for small-area research, errors in converting addresses into coordinates may occur.
New research on error rates in capital cases and the successful use of DNA evidence to exonerate death row inmates in recent years reveal the system to be even more flawed than previously imagined.
We believe that this is an appropriate approach when undertaking research regarding error rates with paper-based EWS systems.
To whatever extent the research captured errors in diagnosis, the phenomenon looked the same in both genders.
The SOC framework originally arose from our research on "error-based simulation (EBS)" (Hirashima et al. 1998; Horiguchi and Hirashima 2001, 2006; Horiguchi et al. 2014).
