科学方法的关键是可靠的实验设计和可重复的结果。研究结果的发表增进了知识，为进一步研究奠定了基础。近年来，这一原则的基础已经动摇，因为一小部分，但很大一部分科学文献正在被欺诈性研究的出现所破坏。编辑和校对不当造成的错误也可能造成破坏。欺诈性的文章和错误，往好里说，会导致误解，往坏里说，会给病人的治疗带来可怕的后果。更正和撤回通知通常包含在已发表的文献中，但通常不与原始数据链接。数据库生产商，如NLM，有办法建立这种链接，并通知用户源文件中的错误信息。本文报道了NLM的经验，使出版的撤回和勘误通知，以公众的注意力，并将此经验与图书馆的整体利益，质量保证。
The keystone of the scientific method is solid experimental design and reproducible results. The publishing of findings advances knowledge and establishes the basis for further research. In recent years, the foundations of this principle have been shaken as a small, but significant portion of the scientific literature is being flawed by the appearance of fraudulently produced research. Potentially as damaging are errors that result from poor editing and proofreading. Fraudulent articles and errors lead, at best, to misunderstandings and, at worst, to dire consequences in the treatment of patients. Errata and retraction notices are generally carried in the published literature but usually are not linked to the original data. Database producers, such as NLM, have the means to establish this link and to inform users of incorrect information in the source documents as well. This paper reports NLM's experience in bringing published retraction and errata notices to the public's attention and relates this experience to the library's overall interest in quality assurance.
