Corrections and concerns
Anyone can tell The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI) that something is wrong: a factual error, a flawed method, a misleading claim or a concern about conduct. Corrections are part of the work, not a failure of it. This page sets out the published correction process, who reviews what and the routes for each kind of concern. No route requires membership, an account or payment, and none promises a response time; the acknowledgement gives a reference and names the next step. This page is part of trust and accountability.

The short answer.
Corrections and concerns is GCRI's published process for anyone to report a factual error, a flawed method, a misleading claim or a concern about conduct. Each report moves from acknowledgement to review to a recorded version, through six routes that need no membership, account or payment, and corrections are never silent edits.
Report to outcome.

From report to recorded version.
Each step is recorded, so that readers can see what changed and why.
- 01
Report
Write to integrity@therisk.global naming the page or publication, the passage and your evidence.
- 02
Acknowledge
You receive a reference and the name of the next step.
- 03
Review
The responsible editor or source owner reviews the evidence. A complaint about a decision is reviewed by someone not responsible for it.
- 04
Decide and record
An accepted correction creates a new recorded version with its history. A rejected request receives a reasoned disposition.
Six routes, each with its own address.
| Matter | Write to | Who handles it |
|---|---|---|
| Scientific correction or integrity concern | integrity@therisk.global | The responsible editor or source owner |
| Programme or decision complaint | integrity@therisk.global | Someone not responsible for the contested decision |
| Privacy and rights request | privacy@therisk.global | The Interim Privacy Officer of GCRI Canada |
| Security report | security@therisk.global | The security disclosure team |
| Safeguarding concern | safeguarding@therisk.global | A restricted route, not handled in public forums or by a chatbot |
| Ordinary enquiry | contact@therisk.global | The Consortium Secretariat |
Terms used on this page.
Each term as this page uses it. Where a standard-setting body defines the term, the wording follows that body.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Correction | A published notice that amends an error in a work whose main findings stand. |
| Expression of concern | A notice that alerts readers to serious doubts about a work while they are investigated. |
| Silent edit | A change to a published record made without a new version, notice or date. |
| Retraction | The formal withdrawal of a published work whose findings are unreliable, with a notice that stays visible. |
Visible histories, never silent edits.
Corrections to publications are listed under corrections and updates. Report-specific corrections are kept at Nexus Reports corrections and supersession. Safeguarding matters follow safeguarding and complaints.
Nexus is not an emergency service. In immediate danger, contact your local emergency services. The Global Risks Forum's route is at GRF corrections and concerns.

Do I need to be a member to request a correction?

The current service level is R0: information and enquiries. An enquiry receives a reference and names the next step; applications, payments, compute allocations and registrations open only when their team, terms and review capacity exist.
