In this article, some of the reference citations were not formatted as reference citations. The first citation to each of the references was formatted correctly, but every repeated citation for each of the references was formatted as plain text. These errors were caused as the result of a typesetting mistake.

The original article has been updated to correct the formatting for the affected reference citations. The publisher apologises to the authors and readers for the inconvenience caused by this error.
