Correction: Can laboratory-based XAFS compete with XRD and Mössbauer spectroscopy as a tool for quantitative species analysis? Critical evaluation using the example of a natural iron ore (PLoS One. (2025) 20:5 (e0323678) DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0323678)

Abstract

The sixth sentence of the fourth paragraph in the Introduction should have cited references 25 and 28 instead of 18 and 20. The correct sentence should read: Nevertheless, these materials can still be examined by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), but SAXS is a special technique with relatively limited accessibility and, moreover, does not provide the same information as regular XRD does and is instead rather used for nanoparticle size or pore size determinations [25, 28]. 25.
