Happy to share my first story for @nature.com, looking at an aspect of science that doesn’t get discussed enough: retractions that happen because scientists discover honest mistakes in their work. I spoke with researchers who chose to self-retract about what helped them get through the process.

Some in the research community want that to change

Retractions correct the scientific record, but they have stigma attached to them. Some in the research community want that to change.
