RETRACTION POLICY

Violation of the rights of publishers, copyright holders or authors, violation of professional ethical codes, bogus claims of authorship, plagiarism, fraudulent use of data as well as all other cases of a major violation of ethical standards require retraction of a published article. Occasionally an already published article may be retracted to correct subsequently detected errors. The main reason for withdrawal or retraction is to correct the mistake while preserving the integrity of science; it is not to punish the author.

The standards for dealing with retractions have been developed by libraries and scientific bodies. The retracted article is kept in its original form, with a watermark on the PDF indicating on each page that the article has been retracted (RETRACTED).

 

SELF-ARCHIVING

The journals allow authors to deposit the final, published version of the manuscript in PDF format in an institutional repository and/or non-commercial subject-based repositories, or to publish them on their personal websites (including social networking sites, such as ResearchGate, Academia.edu, etc.) and/or on the website of the institution in which they are employed, one year following the publication in the journal. Thereby they must state the basic bibliographic data on the article published in the journal (authors, article title, journal title, year, volume, pagination).

 

COPYRIGHT POLICY

Once the manuscript is accepted for publication, the authors shall transfer the copyright to the publisher. If the submitted manuscript is not accepted for printing by the journal, the authors shall retain all their rights. The following rights on the manuscript are transferred to the publisher, including any supplementary materials and any parts, extracts or elements of the manuscript:

  • the right to reproduce and distribute the manuscript in printed form, including print-on-demand;
  • the right to print prepublications, reprints and special editions of the manuscript;
  • the right to translate the manuscript into other languages;
  • the right to reproduce the manuscript using photomechanical or similar means including, but not limited to photocopy, and the right to distribute these copies;
  • the right to reproduce and distribute the manuscript electronically or optically using and all data carriers or storage media, and especially in machine readable/digitalized form on data carriers such as hard drive, CD-ROM, DVD, Blu-ray Disc (BD), Mini Disc, data tapes, and the right to reproduce and distribute the article via these data carriers;
  • the right to store the manuscript in databases, including online databases, as well as the right to transmit the manuscript in all technical systems and modes;
  • the right to make the manuscript available to the public or to closed user groups on individual demand, for use on monitors or other readers (including e-books), and in printable form for the user, either via the Internet, online service, or via internal or external networks.

Authors reserve the copyright to published articles and have the right to use the article in the same manner like third parties in accordance with the license Attribution-Non-Commercial-Non-Derivate 4.0 International (CC BY). Thereby they must quote the basic bibliographic data of the source article published in the journal (authors, article title, journal title, volume, pagination).
