Correction

Soon after publication the authors were made aware of an error within Table 3 of the original publication. The example given as the ‘Scientist’ term ‘Citizen scientist, Scientist-citizen, public scientist, community scientist’ previously read: “Citizen scientists investigated anecdotal evidence to construct hypotheses regarding developmental disorders that members of the public claimed were triggered by a MMR vaccine.”

Table 3

Terms describing scientists who work with citizens in ‘citizen science.’

This should have read: “Citizen scientists investigated anecdotal evidence to construct hypotheses regarding developmental disorders that members of the public claimed were triggered by chemical pollution.”

The corrected Table 3 is presented here.
