The News story ‘Text-mining offers clues to success’ (Nature 509, 410; 2014) wrongly implied that SRI International is based in Arlington, Virginia. Although it has an office there, it is based in Menlo Park, California. It also should have said that IARPA is funding, not partnering with, SciCast, a project run by George Mason University and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
