Retraction of an Article

Retraction of an Article

1. Retraction of an article is carried out on the initiative of the author or the Editorial Board.
2. Retraction of an article could be initiated by the author on his personal written request to the editor-in-chief indicating the grounds for retraction.
3. The grounds for retraction of the article are:
   • detection of plagiarism;
   • duplication of the submitted material in several editions;
   • falsifications of data in the article (e.g. in experimental data);
   • detection of serious errors in the article (e.g. incorrect interpretation of the results), that compromise its scientific value.
4. The editors consider the author’s request for retraction within a month from the date of its receipt.
5. If the Editorial Board makes a decision on retraction of an article based on expert assessment, it will inform the author on its decision and the exact ground for retraction.
6. On taking a decision on retraction of an article, the Editorial Board posts a specific indication about the retraction on the Journal’s website in the archive version of the corresponding Journal’s issue with the date of retraction and its grounds.
7. A simple removal of an article from the archive on the journal’s website is not allowed. The retracted articles should remain available where they were previously posted.
8. When retraction procedure is complete, the Editorial Board will send the information about the retraction to the Scientific Electronic Library – eLIBRARY.RU.
