If unauthorised plagiarism of data (scientific research results) or ideas is detected, an article may be withdrawn from publication (retracted). Retraction is carried out in accordance with the recommendations of the Association of Science Editors and Publishers (ASEP) and the Retraction Guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE)3 (General Approach to Publication Ethics…, 2022; Kirillova & Popova, 2023).
When a decision is made to retract an article, the editorial board specifies the reason for retraction (in the case of plagiarism, the sources of the copied material are identified) and the retraction date. The article and its description remain on the journal’s website as part of the corresponding journal issue, but the electronic version of the text is marked as "Retracted", with the date of retraction indicated. This same label and date are placed in the table of contents of the issue next to the retracted article.
The publisher strongly discourages plagiarism and other violations of publication ethics and hopes that there will be no need to retract published articles.
