  <body>
    <p>The corresponding author of the paper “Conceptualization and Implementation of the Central Information Portal on Rare Diseases: Protocol for a Qualitative Study” (JMIR Res Protoc 2018;7(5):e112), made a mistake in the final stage of proofreading. The academic degrees of Leena Bruckner-Tuderman, Jörg Schmidtke, TOF Wagner, and Franziska Schauer were incorrectly listed as “PhD”. Instead, the degrees for all four of these authors should be “Dr med”, which represents an academic degree according to the German academic system.</p>
    <p>The correction will appear in the online version of the paper on the JMIR website on September 6, 2018, together with the publication of this correction notice. Because this was made after submission to PubMed, Pubmed Central, and other full-text repositories, the corrected article also has been re-submitted to those repositories.</p>
