Summary
This document is a formal correction notice issued by authors Christopher Barrington-Leigh and Adam Millard-Ball regarding their previously published article, "The world’s user-generated road map is more than 80% complete," which originally appeared in PLoS ONE in 2017. The primary purpose of this 2019 publication is to address a specific error in the original work: an incorrect version of Figure 1 was published in error. The notice informs readers that the article was republished on October 18, 2019, to rectify this mistake, and explicitly instructs readers to download the updated version of the article to view the corrected figure. The text does not provide new research findings, methodological details, or data analysis. Instead, it serves as an administrative record of the correction process. It cites the original 2017 study (Barrington-Leigh C, Millard-Ball A, PLoS ONE 12(8): e0180698) as the subject of the correction. The notice ensures that the scientific record is accurate by replacing the erroneous visual data with the correct version, thereby maintaining the integrity of the original study's conclusions regarding the completeness of user-generated road maps. The significance of this document lies in its role in maintaining the accuracy of the scientific literature. By issuing this correction, the authors and the journal ensure that future citations and uses of the original study rely on the correct visual evidence. The notice confirms that the correction was published on October 29, 2019, in PLoS ONE 14(10): e0224742. It does not alter the textual content or the core findings of the original paper but specifically targets the visual representation in Figure 1. Readers are advised to disregard any previous versions of the article that contain the incorrect figure and to utilize the republished version for accurate reference. This correction process is standard practice in academic publishing to address inadvertent errors without retracting the entire study, provided the error does not invalidate the main conclusions. The document stands as a standalone record of this specific amendment, linking the original DOI to the corrected version.
