Jane is a psychologist. she submits a study on sleep to a prestigious journal, and the journal publishes the study. later, jane notices that the study has a serious flaw, which makes her results meaningless. select the option in which jane acts ethically.
a. jane submits a correction and retraction to the journal.
b. jane defends her work, even though she knows it is flawed.
c. jane ignores the flaw and does not respond to criticisms.
d. jane submits the paper to other journals quickly.

The correct answer is A.

The most ethical thing to do in this situation would be to submit a correction and retraction from the journal. All the other options would be highly unethical and would decrease her credibility as an academic and a scientist.

The best answer to the question would be (A) Jane submits a correction and retraction to the journal.

This would be the most ethical thing to do since a published article that she knows is incorrect would be a danger if the results are being used by the general public to justify certain programs or behaviors. Not only that, but when Jane is found out eventually, she would lose all her credibility compared to if she chose to retract her work immediately for correction.
