RSNA and SEG Implement Retraction and Errata Feature to Strengthen Research Integrity

The Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) and the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) have implemented the GetFTR Retraction and Errata feature on their journal platforms, significantly enhancing the visibility of corrections and retractions within their cited research. The integration was carried out in close partnership with Atypon – RSNA and SEG’s journal platform provider.

This new feature appears on journal article references, meaning readers can now immediately see if any cited articles have been updated, corrected, or retracted—directly within the reference list. This added layer of transparency ensures that users are aware of critical updates not only within the article they are reading, but also in the broader body of literature it cites.

“Providing accurate and up-to-date research is fundamental to RSNA’s mission to promote excellence in patient care and health care delivery” said Bethanne Wilson, Director: Journal Business and Operations at RSNA. “We value the transparency and trust this service provides to our readers.

SEG also benefits from GetFTR’s Free Tier service, an initiative designed to support smaller and society publishers by waiving service fees—further underlining GetFTR’s commitment to ensuring that research integrity tools are accessible across the publishing spectrum.

“This enhancement enables our readers to see at a glance if cited research has been retracted or corrected—something that’s critically important in maintaining trust in the literature.” said Sarah Weathers, Publishing Product Manager, SEG

Retraction and Errata feature in action

Atypon, the leading publishing platform provider, collaborated closely with GetFTR to implement this feature for both publishers. This marks another major deployment of the Retraction and Errata service on the Atypon Experience Platform, following a successful rollout for Taylor & Francis earlier this year.

“We’re proud to work with GetFTR alongside our clients such as Taylor & Francis, RSNA, and SEG, to implement tools that support responsible publishing,” said Oliver Rickard, Senior Product Manager Atypon. “Being able to see Retraction and Errata information — especially at the reference level — makes a real difference in helping researchers quickly assess the trustworthiness of what they’re reading.”

“Bringing visibility to retractions and corrections in article references helps close a critical gap in scholarly communication” said Dianne Benham, Product Director for GetFTR.

“Thanks to Atypon’s collaboration, this important development is now available to all their publishing clients. This implementation underscores the shared commitment to transparency, trust, and the ongoing evolution of responsible research publishing”
