A recent coding error on the website has come to our attention regarding the “peer review” designation for certain articles. Unfortunately, this error resulted in several Comment article types being coded as “peer reviewed” even though they had not been sent out for external review prior to publication. To ensure that the website is providing the most accurate and up-to-date designation, we will be removing the erroneous code for the affected articles. In addition, we will be resupplying new articles to the various databases that index our content, to ensure the error is not being replicated in those repositories. The PDF of each article accurately omits the phrase “peer reviewed” and therefore does not require correction.
