The editors encourage and hope for academic debate and constructive criticism in discussions after the publication of scientific articles. During discussions, shortcomings of already published articles may be revealed, among which there may be significant and non-significant errors that were not detected or that could not have been detected during the editorial process.

In order to reduce the risks of such concerns, the editors are obliged to coordinate any changes to the manuscript's text in the process of editorial and publishing preparation with the authors, in particular, the responsible author. As an exception, minor editorial corrections of the text regarding spelling and/or grammar are allowed for publication without agreement with the authors.

When discussing articles (publication of open opinions, corrections, critical comments to the published article and the author's responses to criticism, etc.), no comment may contain personal images of any of the authors or editors, reviewers, discriminatory remarks, subjective evaluation and/or performance characteristics of the publication.

Changes and corrections

The journal follows generally accepted international recommendations regarding changes to already published materials.

1. Minor corrections

Errors that do not affect the scholarly content, research results, or the integrity of the publication, including technical, typographical, and spelling mistakes, inaccuracies in references, page numbering errors, and similar issues, may be corrected by publishing a notice of the changes made.

In such cases, the original PDF file is replaced with a corrected version indicating the nature of the changes introduced.

Information about the correction is published in the relevant section of the journal, together with a detailed description of the identified errors and the corrections made.

The previous version of the material is archived and retained with an appropriate update notice.

2. Correction of significant errors

Significant errors affecting the research results, their interpretation, or academic integrity are corrected through the publication of a separate official notice.

Grounds for such a correction may include:

- a change in the list of authors;
- identification of unintentional errors in the research results;
- incorrect presentation of tables, figures, charts, or other illustrative materials;
- other circumstances that substantially affect the content of the publication.

The decision to make such corrections is taken by the Editor-in-Chief after consultation with the authors and members of the Editorial Board.
