Retraction Policy

The editorial board of the journal «Intermedical journal» adheres to the ethical principles of publishing activities and ensures an appropriate response to cases of academic dishonesty. In case of detection of significant violations, the editorial board may withdraw an already published article.

An article may be withdrawn in case of plagiarism, fabrication or falsification of data, double publication, serious methodological or ethical violations.

The editorial board, authors or third parties (reviewers, institutions, etc.) may initiate a withdrawal.

The editorial board conducts an investigation and provides the authors with the opportunity to provide an explanation. If the violation is confirmed, an official notice of withdrawal is published. The notice contains the reasons for the withdrawal and is published in the journal and on the website in compliance with the principles of transparency and ethics (in accordance with COPE). In databases, the article is marked as «Retracted», but its text remains available with a corresponding note on each page.

Authors have the right to submit an explanation or appeal, which will be considered by the editorial board.
