Retraction of duplicate articles in scientific journals: The experience of a regional university

The article describes the experience of the editorial board of scientific publications at Penza  State University in retracting duplicate publications. It provides a practical example illustrating the problems that arise at each stage of the retraction process. It shows that a significant part of these problems lies in the legal field and requires founders and publishers to be aware of the norms of the current legislation not only in the field of intellectual property, but also in the field of protecting the honor, dignity and business reputation of authors.
