We present a taxonomy of errors in the scientific literature and an account of how the errors are distributed over the categories.

We then examine how the sorts of errors that lead to retracted papers can be prevented and detected, considering the perspective of collaborating scientists, journal editors and referees, and readers of the published articles.
