Nature corrects figure error in phage defence study
Nature published an author correction on December 5, 2018, regarding identical images in a paper about chemical defences against phage infection.
Initial publication contained errors
The original version of the article released online included nine identical images within Figure 2a. This duplication resulted from an error made during the figure preparation process. The journal identified this mistake and issued a notice to amend the record.
Corrected figures now available
Researchers have located the correct images to replace the flawed ones in the published record. These amended visuals are included in the updated version of Figure 2 shown below as Figure 1. The correction notice serves to inform readers about this specific change to the article.
Amended version published online
The corrected article carries a new DOI and is accessible under the version of record label. This update ensures that the visual data accurately reflects the study findings on phage infection defences. Readers can now view the proper images alongside the original text without confusion.
