Correction: Patient Safety of Perioperative Medication Through the Lens of Digital Health and Artificial Intelligence

Following the publication of “Patient Safety of Perioperative Medication Through the Lens of Digital Health and Artificial Intelligence” [1], concerns were raised regarding the corresponding author Jiancheng Ye’s rate of self-citation within the article’s reference list. Further investigation into this matter identified that numerous self-citations were added to the manuscript following acceptance of the article without adequate disclosure.

The author was contacted for a response regarding this matter. The author indicated that the added references were pertinent to the article and its findings, and provided documentation justifying the inclusion of the identified self-citations.

Following review of this response, the JMIR Publications Editorial Office determined that several of the added references were not relevant to the article or were used to support a generic statement where another reference could have been used instead of self-citation. Therefore, the JMIR Publications Editorial Office is issuing this corrigendum to remove the following references:
