PUBLIC COMMENT WEBINAR | FREE AND OPEN TO ALL
Communication of Retractions, Removals, and Expressions of Concern (CREC) Recommended Practice
Tuesday, October 10, 12:00 pm–1:00 pm EDT (US/Canada)
Retracted research-published work that is withdrawn, removed, or otherwise invalidated from the scientific and scholarly record-can be, and often is, inadvertently propagated within the digital scholarly record through citations. These citations are more likely to happen when content is "silently" withdrawn or when the process for effectively communicating retractions at all publication lifecycle stages is unclear.
Since summer 2022, NISO's CREC Working Group has been at work to create a Recommended Practice to address and provide a community-driven solution to this issue. The Recommended Practice is now in a draft state, ready to be shared with and receive feedback from the public. Join members of the CREC Working Group as they discuss the project, the draft's current status, and seek input from the community.
Confirmed speakers: Caitlin Bakker, Discovery Technologies Librarian, University of Regina; Rachael Lammey, Head of Strategic Initiatives, Crossref; and Jodi Schneider, Associate Professor, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.
This event is provided as a public service at no cost to the information community, but please register to attend. The recording will be shared with all registered attendees.
