DESCRIPTION
Retractions may be rare, but they play a crucial role in ensuring the integrity of the scholarly record. Communicating retractions, removals, and expressions of concern effectively is vital for fostering trust and transparency in research. Librarians, as champions of information literacy and metadata standards, are key players in advancing ethical research communication.
This webinar will introduce NISO’s recently published Communication of Retractions, Removals, and Expressions of Concern (CREC) Recommended Practice, providing a concise history, an overview of its development, and practical insights into its implementation. Hear from a panel of experts—representing libraries, publishers, and standards organizations—about how CREC establishes best practices for creating clear, reliable metadata for retractions and related statements.
Join us for an engaging session with ample time for Q&A, and discover how the library community can both adopt and shape these vital standards for the benefit of researchers, scholars, and beyond. Already have questions about CREC? To ensure your questions are answered, submit them via this form and we will be sure to answer them during the webinar.
