Any person has the right to appeal to the editorial board before or after the publication of a work regarding a conflict of interest, a possible violation of academic integrity, or the fact of any violation. The Editorial Board shall consider such an appeal within a reasonable time. The author is entitled to present his/her position before the Board. The Board shall make a decision proportional to the severity of the violation. The interested person has the right to familiarize himself/herself with the relevant reasoned conclusion of the board.

Appropriate information on a confirmed violation (in the case of a published work) shall be placed in the next issue of the journal (on the page of the corresponding issue of the journal in the case of electronic publication).

In case of a serious violation, a mechanism for withdrawing the work may be activated, which involves removing the work from the issue. The process shall be carried out taking into account established international best practices ( https://publicationethics.org/sites/default/files/retraction-guidelines-cope.pdf ).
