Artificial intelligence tools used in research or in the preparation of manuscripts for submission to an academic collection are regulated by official guidelines.

Use of Artificial Intelligence and Retraction Policy for Published Articles

Artificial intelligence tools used in research or in the preparation of manuscripts for submission to an academic collection are governed by a set of regulations.

The retraction of published articles is a crucial component in ensuring academic integrity and the quality of scholarly publications. Retraction involves the official withdrawal of an article from a scientific journal, accompanied by the publication of a corresponding notice. Such a decision is made by the editorial board in cases where the published information is found to be unreliable or misleading to the scientific community.

Reasons for retraction may include confirmed instances of data fabrication or falsification, plagiarism, significant methodological errors that affect the conclusions, as well as breaches of ethical standards in conducting research. In some cases, authors themselves initiate the retraction upon discovering critical errors after publication. Retraction may also result from the discovery of duplicate publication, where the same work has been submitted to multiple journals.

Based on the recommendations of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), the Editorial Board adheres to the following policy for the retraction of already published articles.

Grounds for article retraction include:

• Unauthorised borrowing (plagiarism);

• Duplicate publication in several journals;

• Detection of fabrication or falsification in the work;

• Discovery of serious errors (e.g. incorrect interpretation of results), calling into question the scientific value of the material;

• Inaccurate authorship (inclusion of individuals who do not meet the criteria for authorship or exclusion of those who deserve authorship);

• Undisclosed conflict of interest (and other violations of publication ethics);

• Republishing the article without the author’s consent;

• Other breaches of ethical publishing standards.

The decision to retract an article is made by the Academic Integrity Commission of Kherson State University based on the resolution of the editorial board.

The names of the author(s) and the title of the article remain in the contents of the issue on the journal’s website, but information about the reason for retraction is provided. The author(s) (in the case of co-authorship) will receive an official notification with justification for the retraction decision.
