The purpose of the review

A review is a mechanism for correcting published information and alerting readers to publications that contain such serious flaws or erroneous data that cannot be trusted. The unreliability of the data may be the result of a good faith misconception or deliberate violations.

Reviews are also used to warn readers about cases of duplicate publications (that is, when authors present the same data in several publications), plagiarism, and concealment of important conflicts of interest that may affect the interpretation of data or recommendations for its use.

Reviewing an article is an important part of scientific and academic practice, which allows for transparency and accountability in publications. The review notification should be clear and informative, highlighting the key aspects:

  1. Title of the notification:

The title of the withdrawn article should be indicated, as well as the names of the authors. This will help readers and researchers easily identify the subject of the review.

  1. Reasons for the recall:

The notification must contain a detailed explanation of the reasons for the article's withdrawal. This may include:

  • Violationsofscientificintegrity(e.g.plagiarism,falsification of data).
  • Errorsthataffectscientificconclusionsthatcanonlybecorrectedby
  • Conscientiouserrors,iftheycouldnotbecorrected in a timely manner.

It is important to distinguish between cases of violations and bona fide misconceptions so that readers understand the context.

  1. Indication of the persons who initiated the review:

The notification should clearly indicate who initiated the review of the article, for example, the editors of the journal, the authors, or other interested parties.

  1. Publication of the notification:

The notification must be published in electronic and print versions of the journal so that it is accessible to a wide audience. This allows for maximum transparency of the review process.
