Correction: Information: A missing component in understanding and mitigating social epidemics (Humanities and Social Sciences Communications, (2020), 7, 1, (128), 10.1057/s41599-020-00620-w)

Abstract

A change has been made to the published paper to correct a misattributed quotation. The original read: Vectors for infopathogens include media, social media, and advertisers (Norris and Suomela, 2017), but they are not always necessary as infopathogens can spread directly from person to person, especially when people share the same belief systems. The revised text now reads: Vectors for infopathogens include media, social media, and advertisers, but they are not always necessary as infopathogens can spread directly from person to person, especially when people share the same belief systems. This has now been corrected online and in the PDF version of the paper.
