Correcting the Record: Updated Citations in Vision Research
"Important updates have been issued for two articles in vision research. Ensure your citations are up-to-date to maintain accuracy in your work."
In the ever-evolving landscape of scientific research, accuracy is paramount. Errors can inadvertently creep into published articles, necessitating corrections and updates. This is especially critical in fields like vision research, where precise data and proper attribution are essential for building upon existing knowledge.
Recently, two articles published in Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science (IOVS) were identified as having incorrect page numbers. The publishers have since renumbered and corrected these articles online to address the errors. This article serves to bring these corrections to your attention and provide the updated citation information.
By ensuring that you are using the most accurate and up-to-date citations, you contribute to the integrity of the scientific literature and avoid perpetuating errors in your own research or writing. This article will provide the corrected citations and a brief overview of the affected studies.
