The exact change
The article dated Purdue's bankruptcy to 2020 and presented the settlement figures as final, and cited Gino et al. (2009) without noting the subsequent research-integrity concerns affecting other work by one of its authors.
Corrected the bankruptcy date, reframed the settlement as an evolving legal matter given the 2024 Supreme Court ruling, and added an appropriate research-integrity caveat to the Gino citation.
Suggested change
See before/after.
Why this is better
The bankruptcy date was incorrect and the settlement status has changed materially since 2024; a co-author's other work has been subject to serious, well-documented misconduct findings. Corrections update the facts and add the caveat rather than removing the citation outright, since this specific paper was not confirmed as affected.

- The contribution is tied to a real, identified contributor, not an anonymous byline.
- It counts only because the publisher, When Notes Fly, accepted it. Self-claimed work earns nothing.
