The first study by these authors published in Climatic Change (‘Students’ conceptions about the greenhouse effect, global warming, and climate change’ Shepardson et al. 2011. Climatic Change 104, no. 3–4: 481–507 DOI 10.1007/s10584-009-9786-9) reported an investigation of secondary students’ (grades 7–12) conceptions.
The second study, ‘Seventh grade students’ conceptions of global warming and climate change,’ focused on seventh grade students and was published in Environmental Education Research 2009 15, no. 5: 549–70 DOI: 10.1080/13504620903114592.
Unexpectedly, the first study was published after the second. The Climatic Change article should have indicated that it served as the foundation for the Environmental Education Research article and the Environmental Education Research article should have indicated that it built on the Climatic Change study.
A similar notice will appear in Climatic Change.
