Corrigenda and Addenda
doi:10.2196/84386
Following the publication of “Advancing Mental Health and Psychological Support for Health Care Workers Using Digital Technologies and Platforms” [], concerns were raised regarding 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:
