A Corrigendum on
A biophoton method for identifying the quality states of fresh Chinese herbs
by Cao B, Wang Z, Zhang J, Fu J, Zhang Z, Du J, Deng T, Pang J, Yang M and Han J (2023). Front. Pharmacol. 14:1140117. doi: 10.3389/fphar.2023.1140117
In the published article, the reference details for “Qiao, 2019”, “Zhao, 2014” and “Zhong, 2015” were incorrectly written. The correct references are “Qiao, J. J. (2019) Study on the quality evaluation of Leonurus heterophyllus L. [master’s thesis]. [Nanjing (Jiangsu)]: Nanjing University Of Chinese Medicine”, “Zhao, X. L. (2014) Preliminary study on the characteristics of biophoton in the growth process of traditional Chinese medicine. [master’s thesis]. [Jinan (Shandong)]: University of Jinan”, and “Zhong, N. Y. (2015) Study on the quality control of Leonurus japonicus Houtt. liquid extract and its original medicinal materials. [master’s thesis]. [Hangzhou (Zhejiang)]: Zhejiang Chinese Medical University.”
There was also an error in Equation 1. This equation previously stated “CPS = (N − n) × 10” whereas the correct equation is “CPS = N − n.”
The authors apologize for these error and state that they do not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
