CORRECTIONS, RETRACTIONS, REPUBLICATIONS, AND VERSION CONTROL

Notification of an important error can be made by the journal or the author(s). Such errors can affect the publication record or the scientific integrity of the paper, or the reputation of the authors or of the journal.

We expect authors to inform the journal’s Editors of any errors they have noticed (or have been informed of) in their article once published as print or electronic correspondence. 

We recognize our responsibility to publish a correction notice as soon as possible detailing changes from and citing the original publication; the correction is published on an electronic or numbered print page to ensure proper indexing.

We also post a new article version with details of the changes and the dates on which the changes were made.

Journal of Ophthalmology (Ukraine) archives all prior versions of the article.

Previous electronic versions note that there are more recent versions of the article. The citation is to the most recent version.

Errors serious enough to invalidate a paper's results and conclusions may require retraction. However, retraction with republication (also referred to as “replacement”) is considered in cases where honest error (e.g., a misclassification or miscalculation) leads to a major change in the direction or significance of the results, interpretations, and conclusions.
