We prove a new type of fixed point theorems in complete partial metric spaces, and then generalize them to metric spaces. Some more general results are also obtained on partial metric spaces. © 2013 Klin-eam; licensee Springer.Mahidol UniversityMathematicsModified proof of Caristi's fixed point theorem on partial metric spacesArticleSCOPUS10.1186/1029-242X-2013-210
