Summary

This document is a formal correction notice published in *Scientific Reports* (2026) regarding the original article titled “Evaluation of traffic congestion mitigation techniques using an entropy-TOPSIS integrated method” (DOI: 10.1038/s41598-026-35814-w), which was originally published online on January 12, 2026. The correction addresses specific administrative and metadata errors present in the initial online version of the article, rather than correcting scientific data, methodology, or results. The primary correction involves the authorship and correspondence details. Author Meshal Almoshaogeh was omitted as a corresponding author in the original publication. The correction explicitly adds him to this role, stating that correspondence and requests for materials should now be addressed to both A.F. (Asim Farooq) and M.A. (Meshal Almoshaogeh). Specifically, the contact email for Meshal Almoshaogeh is provided as m.moshaogeh@qu.edu.sa. Consequently, the “Additional information” section was updated to reflect this change, replacing the previous instruction to address correspondence solely to A.F. with the new dual-author instruction. The correction also rectifies discrepancies in the Acknowledgements and Funding sections. In the original article, the Acknowledgements section incorrectly stated, “We thank the whole team for their dedicated work.” This has been replaced with a specific acknowledgment: “The Researchers would like to thank the Deanship of Graduate Studies and Scientific Research at Qassim University for financial support (QU-APC-2026).” Furthermore, the Funding section contained an inconsistency. The original text claimed, “The researchers would like to thank the Deanship of Graduate Studies and Scientific Research at Qassim University for financial support (QU-APC-2025).” This statement has been removed and replaced with a declaration that “The authors declare that no funds, grants, or other support were received from any organization during the preparation of this manuscript.” This change clarifies the funding status, contradicting the previous claim of support from Qassim University in the Funding section, while the Acknowledgements section now cites support for publication costs (APC) rather than research preparation. The significance of this document is purely administrative, ensuring the accurate attribution of authorship, correspondence responsibilities, and funding disclosures for the cited research. It does not alter the scientific content, methods, or findings of the original study on traffic congestion mitigation. The original article has been updated to reflect these corrections.
