RETRACTION NOTICE TO “DIGITALISATION OF ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES IN THE FIELD OF ECONOMIC COMPETITION CONTROL: CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR UKRAINE” [Baltic Journal of Economic Studies, 11(5), 299-306]

Abstract

This article has been retracted. Please see the Baltija Publishing Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://baltijapublishing.lv/index.php/issue/policies_ethics).

This article has been retracted at the request of third-party readers who identified significant errors, breaches of academic integrity, and compromised peer-review processes.

In accordance with the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines and Baltija Publishing policies, the author was asked to provide clarification regarding the references used in the work but was unable to satisfactorily justify them. An investigation conducted by the journal’s editors identified references that were irrelevant to the article, as well as a significant lack of citations in large sections of the text.

Additionally, there are concerns that the author appears to have used a generative AI source during the writing process without disclosure, which constitutes a breach of journal policy.

Consequently, the editors no longer have confidence in the integrity or the findings of the article and have decided to retract it. The scientific community takes this matter very seriously, and apologies are offered to the readers of the journal and to those whose names were mentioned, as this issue was not detected during the submission process.

The author agrees with the retraction and does not dispute the grounds for it.
