In the original publication of this article [1] the following data points were missing
from Table 1 (pages 6 & 7) due to a word processing error.
Mir et al., 2020 – Quality weightings of ‘Autism - 2’ ‘Sample Identification - 1’
‘Design - 2’.
Vermeirsch et al., 2020 - Quality weightings of ‘Autism - 2’ ‘Sample Identification
- 1’ ‘Design.
The correct Table 1 is shown in the next pages. Two author’s affiliations have been
amended to be ‘School of Psychology, University of Birmingham, Birmingham, B15 2TT,
UK’. The original article has been corrected.
