Apstrakt

The number of scientific publications is constantly increasing accompanied with an increasing number of manuscript retractions, yet at a relatively low rate of 0.04 %. The major concern is fraud and different kinds of scientific misconduct that were found in about half of the retracted manuscripts. The rest was due to unintentional errors discovered after the manuscripts were published. Still, the impact of these intentional or unintentional published errors may be high even if the manuscript is retracted. Several studies have reported continuous citations of retracted manuscripts extending up to several years after retraction. Also, the vast majority of these citations were non-negative or positive (without the reference to retraction) implying that the authors were not aware of retraction. Such superficial reviews of the published literature especially if the original works are not consulted could be a source of mistakes and inconsistencies that could be further propagated in the scientific literature and difficult to eradicate.

Kada je rukopis prihvaćen za objavlјivanje, autori prenose autorska prava na izdavača. U slučaju da rukopis ne bude prihvaćen za štampu u časopisu, autori zadržavaju sva prava.

  • pravo da reprodukuje i distribuira rukopis u štampanom obliku, uklјučujući i štampanje na zahtev;
  • pravo na štampanje probnih primeraka, reprint i specijalnih izdanja rukopisa;
  • pravo da rukopis prevede na druge jezike;
  • pravo da rukopis reprodukuje koristeći fotomehanička ili slična sredstva, uklјučujući, ali ne ograničavajući se na fotokopiranje, i pravo da distribuira ove kopije;
  • pravo da rukopis reprodukuje i distribuira elektronski ili optički koristeći sve nosioce podataka ili medija za pohranjivanje, a naročito u mašinski čitlјivoj/digitalizovanoj formi na nosačima podataka kao što su hard disk, CD-ROM, DVD, Blu-ray Disc (BD), mini disk, trake sa podacima, i pravo da reprodukuje i distribuira rukopis sa tih prenosnika podataka;
  • pravo da sačuva rukopis u bazama podataka, uklјučujući i onlajn baze podataka, kao i pravo prenosa rukopisa u svim tehničkim sistemima i režimima;
  • pravo da rukopis učini dostupnim javnosti ili zatvorenim grupama korisnika na osnovu pojedinačnih zahteva za upotrebu na monitoru ili drugim čitačima (uklјučujući i čitače elektonskih knjiga), i u štampanoj formi za korisnike, bilo putem interneta, onlajn servisa, ili putem internih ili eksternih mreža.
