RSNA and SEG enhance research integrity with new retraction feature
The Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) and the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) have introduced the GetFTR Retraction and Errata feature on their journal platforms.
This is designed to improve the visibility of corrections and retractions within their cited research.
The integration was carried out in close partnership with Atypon, who provides the journal platforms for both parties.
This new feature appears on journal article references, allowing readers to immediately see if any cited articles have been updated, corrected, or retracted – directly within the reference list. This added transparency means users are aware of crucial updates not only within the article they are reading but also in the broader body of literature it cites.
Ensuring accuracy in research references
“Providing accurate and up-to-date research is fundamental to RSNA’s mission to promote excellence in patient care and healthcare 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 emphasising 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“This enhancement enables our readers to see at a glance if cited research has been retracted or corrected, something that’s critically important in maintaining trust in the literature,” said Sarah Weathers, Publishing Product Manager, SEG.
Collaboration for responsible publishing
Atypon, a leading publishing platform provider, worked closely with GetFTR to implement this feature for both publishers. This marks another significant 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.”
