❗ Update on the plagiarism and data falsification case: one of the articles has been officially RETRACTED

Remember my post from May 14 regarding the falsification and plagiarism of my materials in two scientific articles? Here are the first official results.

❗ The Editorial Board of the journal "Land Reclamation and Water Management" (Kyiv) has completed the primary actions in response to my official complaint:
🔹 Status updated: The article has been officially assigned the international status of RETRACTED.
🔹 Metadata changes: The "RETRACTED" notice is now integrated directly into the article's title and the international citation block (How to Cite). Any attempt to cite this material within the global scientific community will now automatically flag it as a discredited source.
🔹 Digital footprint: The changes are fixed at the DOI level and are synchronizing with international scientometric databases.

Really interesting question.

I brought something similar last month to our #Postgraduate group with this paper as an example:
https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/03075079.2026.2633517

This led to a good discussion about #AcademicCronyism. Whatever one thinks about the items in the poll, the paper offers some shades of grey regarding such actions.

❗Update on Plagiarism and Falsification in Scientific Publications

Today, I officially submitted requests for the retraction of articles to the editorial boards of the journals "Land Reclamation and Water Management" and "Bulletin of NUWM".

❗Key facts of misconduct:
🔹 Plagiarism: Unauthorized use of my original relief map (2015) without citation.
🔹 Falsification: Intentional removal (retouching) of the author’s stamp with coordinates and date-time on site photographs.
🔹 Duplication: Publication of identical material in 2021 and 2024.

Next steps:
In the event of attempts to covertly remove the articles without an official retraction notice, relevant complaints will be forwarded directly to @crossref and the international members of the editorial boards.
