Post-publication discussion and amendments
The editorial board encourages academic debates and constructive criticism in discussions after the publication of scientific articles. During discussions, shortcomings in already published articles may be identified, including significant and insignificant errors that were not detected or could not have been detected during the editorial process. In order to reduce the risk of such complications, editors are required to coordinate any changes to the manuscript text during the editorial and publishing preparation process with the authors (responsible author). As an exception, minor editorial corrections to the text regarding spelling and/or grammar are allowed for publication without coordination with the authors.
At the same time, the editorial board encourages authors and readers to active post-publication communication, constructive discussion of the results of published research, identifying prospects for its application, or expressing doubts about the argumentation or significance of the article for the development of science.
When discussing articles (publications of open opinions, forum posts, corrections, critical comments on the published article and the author's responses to criticism, etc.), no comment may contain an image of any of the authors or editors, reviewers, discriminatory remarks, subjective assessments and/or characteristics of the work of the publication.
The editorial board of the Journal is aware of the importance of maintaining the accuracy of published data. All changes to articles after their publication (Version of Record) are made by publishing separate messages that are linked to the original article.
Erratum / Correction
The journal follows generally accepted rules and recommendations for correcting minor and major errors in published materials. Making minor changes Acceptable and minor errors in a published article that do not affect its content or the scientific integrity of the research (in particular, typographical errors, inactive citations, incorrect page numbers in article titles, etc.) can be corrected by publishing changes - replacing the original PDF file with a corrected one along with a message about the correction in the "Changes" tab with a detailed description of the errors and changes made to the original PDF file. Corrections of major errors are published in the case when, after the publication of the article, major errors are discovered that significantly affect the research integrity and content of the article.
This mechanism is used to eliminate errors that may affect the interpretation of the results, but do not call into question the scientific integrity of the work.
An Erratum is issued for technical errors made by the editorial staff during layout, proofreading, or metadata upload.
A Correction is issued when the authors have identified an unintentional factual error (e.g., in formulas, source names, or co-author names) that requires clarification for readers.
Procedure: The Erratum is published in the current issue, given its own DOI, and a hyperlink to the original manuscript. The original PDF will be marked with an Erratum note and a reference to the corrected version of the article. The original PDF will be archived and available for retrieval in the same Erratum tab.
