Retraction

The articles published in Logistik will be retract in the publication if: they have clear evidence that the findings are unreliable, either as a result of misconduct (e.g., data fabrication) or honest error (e.g., miscalculation or experimental error); the findings have previously been published elsewhere without proper crossreferencing, permission or justification (i.e., cases of redundant publication); it constitutes plagiarism; it reports unethical research. The mechanism of retraction follows the Retraction Guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
