Retraction Policy

In the case of infringement of the rights of the publisher, copyright holders or the authors themselves, publication of the same manuscript in multiple journals, false authorship, plagiarism, manipulation of data for the purpose of fraud or any other misuse, the published work must be retracted.

A work may also be retracted to correct serious and numerous errors that cannot be covered by publishing a correction. A retraction is published by the editor-in-chief/editorial board, the author(s) or both parties by mutual agreement.

A retraction takes the form of a separate paper that is displayed in the contents of the issue and is classified by the editors as a Retraction.
