Abstract
Despite being a key element in the process of disseminating scientific knowledge, editorial notices are often obscured and not clearly linked to the papers to which they refer. In the present paper, we describe established methods of aggregating notice data, and introduce a novel method of finding editorial notices in the scientific literature. Specifically, we describe how article titles denote notices to existing publications, and how this information can be used to tie notices to papers in an automated fashion. Finally, as part of a broader movement to make science more transparent, we make notices detected through this and other methods publicly available and describe this dataset and how it can be accessed.
