Correction and retraction policies

Published articles remain, to the extent possible, unchanged, although they will be supplemented with information on the presence of an error/correction or other revision.

If the author discovers a material error or inaccuracy in his/her article after it has been officially published online, he/she should notify the editorial board and, if deemed necessary, a correction will be published.

When a correction is published, it will be linked to the article being corrected, and a link to the correction page will also be placed in the article published earlier.

The correction will also be added to the PDF version of the article.

The policy of retraction of published articles is based on the recommendations and standards of international organizations, primarily the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) (COPE's Retraction guidelines).

Retraction is applied to articles that have serious deficiencies. Articles can be retracted for several reasons. These can include errors reported by the authors, as well as problems such as fabrication of results, duplication of publications, plagiarism or self-plagiarism with a large amount of repetition of research results and text already published in other publications.

The notice of retraction will clearly state the reason for the retraction. The retraction notice will be linked to the retracted article, and the article will be marked as retracted (including the PDF file).
