Instructions for revoking or correcting articles
In compliance with the recommendations of the international Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and the Association of Science Editors and Publishers, retraction is a mechanism of correcting published information and notifying readers that the publication contains seriously flawed and inaccurate data which cannot be relied upon.
The members of the editorial board are responsible for the publication of materials with known signs of unethical behavior, plagiarism, self-plagiarism, excessive self-citation by authors, conflicts of interest. If, when writing a material, the principles of publication and/or scientific ethics were violated, the scientific editor of the conference, based on the decision of the editorial board, must retract the publication.
Materials can be withdrawn by the author(s) or the editors of the conference. The editorial board carries out the withdrawal (retraction) of published materials in case of violation of publication and/or scientific ethics, based on the recommendations of COPE.
A material is withdrawn/retracted in the following cases:
if there is clear evidence that the data obtained is unreliable or obtained as a result of illegal actions, for example, falsification of data;
the discovery of the fact of publication of the manuscript in another edition before its publication in the materials of the "Margulan Readings" conference;
detection of plagiarism in the material, including the detection of the borrowing of figures, graphs, tables, etc.;
the presence of gross errors in the material that can negatively affect other scientists and their research, for example, a miscalculation or error in an experiment;
the appearance of claims about copyright for the material or its individual parts by third parties;
the presence of information in the material that contradicts the principles, standards, and norms of publication and/or scientific ethics.
In the above cases, the editorial board of the conference conducts a check, according to the results of which the material can be withdrawn/retracted from publication. For this, an act of retraction of the material from publication is drawn up, which is confirmed and signed by the scientific editor. A copy of the act is sent to the author for correspondence.
After that, on the conference's website, the material is marked as retracted, indicating the reasons. The editorial board publishes information about the withdrawal (retraction) of the material on the main page of the conference's website and places the information, after the procedure of withdrawal (retraction), in the subsequent issue of the conference materials.
The editorial office of the "Margulan Readings" conference responsibly, objectively, and carefully examines all substantiated appeals regarding violations found in published issues. The editors consider it the responsibility and obligation of the authors and reviewers to inform the editors as quickly as possible about the mistakes and violations that they have identified after the publication of the material.
