PROCEDURE FOR ARTICLE WITHDRAWAL (RETRACTION) FROM PUBLICATION

  1. This document was prepared on the basis of the “Rules for Article Withdrawal (Retraction) from Publication” of the Association of Scientific Editors and Publishers (ANRI) and describes the procedure for eliminating violations in scientific materials published by the Publishing House.
  2. Text withdrawal from a publication (retraction) is a mechanism for correcting published scientific information and notifying readers that the publication contains serious shortcomings, erroneous data that cannot be trusted, cases of duplicate publications (when authors present the same data in several publications), plagiarism, and concealment of conflicts of interest that could affect the publication’s quality, interpretation of data or recommendations about its use.
  3. Reasons for withdrawing the article:
  • detection of plagiarism in the publication;
  • duplicate articles in several publications;
  • detection of falsifications or fabrications in the work (for example, falsification of experimental data);
  • detection of serious errors in the work (for example, incorrect interpretation of the results), which casts doubt on its scientific value;
  • incorrect composition of authors (there is no one who is worthy to be an author; persons who do not meet the criteria of authorship are included);
  • hidden conflicts of interest (and other violations of publication ethics);
  • republication of an article without the author’s consent.
  1. The publisher carries out retraction based on the official request of the author / co-authors of the article, who has given an adequate explanation of the reason for his decision, as well as on the decision of the editorial board of the journal on the basis of its own expertise or information received by the editorial office.
  2. The editorial board must inform the author (lead author in the case of collective authorship) about the retraction of the article and justify its reasons. If the author / team ignores the messages, the editorial board informs the Council for Ethics of Scientific Publications of the Institute of Applied Sciences.
  3. The article and the description of the article remain on the journal’s website as part of the corresponding issue, but the electronic version of the text is marked with the inscription WITHDRAWN/RETRACTED and the date of retraction, the same mark is placed with the article in the table of contents of the issue. The comments to the article indicate the reason for retraction (in case of plagiarism detection – with an indication of the sources of borrowing). There is no mechanical deletion of the article from the electronic version of the journal and from the archive, the texts of the withdrawn articles remain where they were previously, with the corresponding mark.
  4. Information about retracted articles is transmitted to the Council for Ethics of Scientific Publications of ANRI (dhttp://elibrary.ru/for entering information in the unified database of retracted articles) and to the NEB (elibrary.ru) (information about the article and the full text remain on elibrary.ru, but they are supplemented with information about retraction. Withdrawn articles and links from them are excluded from the RSCI and are not included in the calculation of indicators).
