In Bornmann, Wray, and Haunschild (2020, p. 1059), the term “like” was inadvertently included in the list of uncertainty terms. We did not use the term “like” for detection of uncertainty, and we did not intend to do so. The correct sentence should read: ‘The final set is as follows: “may”, “could”, “questions”, “might”, “potential”, “seems”, “perhaps”, “likely”, and “sometimes”.’ We apologize for any confusion this mistake might have caused.
