In some cases, the editorial board may decide to retract the article.

Reasons for potential retraction (withdrawal):

there is clear evidence that the results are not reliable, regardless of whether they are the result of misconduct (e.g., fabricated data and image manipulation);
the results of the study have been previously published elsewhere without proper citation, license, or justification (e.g., in cases of redundant or duplicate publication);
the study is plagiarized;
there is evidence of fraudulent authorship;
it is proven that the review process has been compromised;
there is evidence of unethical research and violation of professional codes of ethics.
Requests for retraction may be submitted by authors, editors, or third parties. The editorial board conducts an investigation with the involvement of the authors and, if necessary, external experts. The decision is made by the editor-in-chief of the journal or his deputy.

After a decision to retract an article:

a “Retraction” watermark will be added to the published version of the article record;

the title of the article will be titled “Retraction: [Article Title]”;

a separate retraction statement will be published titled “Retraction: [Article Title]”.

The journal editors sign this message; the retraction statement will be numbered and have a DOI identifier.
