Nature Issues Corrections to Scientific Articles
Nature has issued corrections to two separate scientific articles, according to recent reports. One correction addresses errors in a 2014 article concerning nutrient-sensing nuclear receptors and autophagy, while the other involves a mislabeled color scale in an article about palaeoceanography, palaeoclimate, and physical oceanography.
The first correction pertains to a Nature article originally published on November 12, 2014. According to Nature News, Extended Data Fig. 4 in the original publication contained inadvertent duplications introduced during figure assembly. Specifically, panel 4c (the bottom of the second column) erroneously reused images from panel 4a (the bottom of the third column); panel 4c (the upper panel of the third column) erroneously reused images from panel 4a (the upper panel of the rightmost column); panel 4b (the middle of the leftmost column) erroneously reused images from panel 4b (the bottom of the leftmost column); panel 4b (the upper of the second column) erroneously reused images from.
Multiple sources also reported a correction to a separate Nature article concerning palaeoceanography, palaeoclimate, and physical oceanography. The error involved a mislabeled color scale on Figure 1b, where "35.50" should have been "35.00." This correction has been implemented in the HTML and PDF versions of the article.
The palaeoceanography article involved researchers from institutions across the UK, Netherlands, and the USA, including University College London, Utrecht University, and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. The correction ensures the accuracy of the data presented and its interpretation.
